Why bother with CFD
In today’s day and age, all the world is stepping away from the stigma. Instead of working 9-5 jobs for someone else’s benefit, they are chasing their true passions, and searching for ways to start their own business. One of the most popular choices is fashion and design. This is because it is something that everyone has experience in. Everyone, everyday has gotten up, brushed their teeth, and decided what to wear. So. Why not start your own clothing company?
Because it is hard. Because brick and mortar businesses have an unrealistically high startup cost. According to Lightspeed HQ, the average startup cost is $48,000, which is just unrealistic considering most small businesses fail within the first year. But. In this new age, the internet offers a cost-efficient way to start selling products. However, the internet is now so vast, with so many sites, it’s near impossible to “stumble upon” a new business’s website.
With a CFD domain, it interconnects the small businesses of clothing, fashion, and design. It lets small businesses help other small businesses. We hope that one company will join CFD, and begin to take off, with our help on the hard parts: making the website, learning the legalities, the stuff that is not the passion. Then they will see another business that has joined the community, and will at least check them out. Maybe they will like their products and the two brands can collaborate. Maybe the two can exchange tips. Maybe they can learn their own lessons and post them on the forum. The reality is, the world is currently run by the big guys. Levi, Chanel, Nike, Zara. All these companies that create products of equal or lesser quality to a small business.
With the environmental crisis, small businesses are the future, they are more likely to consider sustainable manufacturing practices, do not create as much waste, and are a more ethical way to shop when people are tired of supporting multi-millionaire CEOs. Helping other CFDers, helps yourself, and there is always strength in numbers.
