Description:
I am 31 a 31 year old female. I am starting up an internet only retail store with a niche market. It is a 40's/50's pin-up type retail store in a market that has been growing and growing. Some call this style Rockabilly. Think the style of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. I am making a business plan. Already have the site. I have a professional making my website right now. I have secured 13 of the top designers/brands for wholesale in this market. I will be selling clothing, jewelry, purses (handmade), jewelry boxes (beautifully hand made and painted), shoes, and housewares. It will be a one-stop-shop. Something this market really doesn't have yet online. I am giving this 150% and just need a small amount to pay for mainly inventory and shipping costs. Everything else I have saved and done out-of-pocket. This actually has potential to be worldwide as I even have designers from the UK signed on. Trying to get this site up and live before Christmas. Shouldn't be a problem with just $4,000-$5,000.
