shopaolx.in :Tentative

Idea is to create online platforms where customers can see the nearby brands or non-brands Apparel, new arrivals, existing stock with pic and price and all necessary details about outlet at any time and review the place/quality/stock etc on the individual brand page.

It's in an initial stage. We have project and execution steps ready with us.

-The size of the Indian apparel market is INR 15,870 crore (USD 2.9 billion); the category is also growing at an impressive CAGR of 12% and is expected to reach INR 27,900 crore (USD 5.1 billion) by 2017.
- Users Age 15-40 years

Walk-in fashion Stores: Customers
Takes too much time for shopping since
Customers love to visit local bazaars but take too much time t find actual products. (Apparel, Bag, Wedding suits, shoes etc)
-No information about Brand Outlets and their outlet collection with pic & price.
-No user review & rating /recommendation platform.
- In-house, the promotion has very less reachability
Walk-in fashion Stores: vendors
- The online market dominates the entire apparel retail market. Earlier retailers waited and do great business during the festival or another season. The recent number says the online market drops 30% of market within 2 days of the Diwali festival.
-local bazaar/outlets don't have an online presence.
-The vendor needs to create multiple websites & active on social media. On the other hand, small fashion outlets don't have a website though.
- Brands or small outlets are accessible to run daily, weekly or monthly In-house promos and reach the mass audience.
- opening hours/nearby outlets/category/new arrivals/fast-moving
- Rating based pricing model for the outlets.
- Due to no or fewer data, not sure what steps to take to improve sales.

customers:
- Provide information e.g operating hours/category/ parking facility/fashion consultant/ In-house promos/special events/collection with pic & price/review/pics/exact location/nearby outlets with the same product or price etc. so customer know where exactly to go before leaving the house.
-Can use filter option as per the product, price, brand, and location.
- Customers can do a comparison of the same product.
Vendors:

- No need to create a different website.
- They can promote their new arrivals or create an event for a particular time.
- Reachability to a mass audience.
