Hey NS,
I've been working on a new Ski/Outerwear/Apparel Company over the last few months.
It has always been and still is a huge dream of mine to fully launch a Ski Company and be apart of the ski industry.
I am now willing to turn that dream into a reality.
I am currently working on the online store.
ik ik theres tons of these so called "New Brand" forums that never turn out on NS, but this is different.
Nothing is being released as of now. This is just a taste/opinion page.
I am wanting to produce; Clothing, Outerwear, Goggles, and Skis.
I am starting small with these quick clothing concepts I created.
I have been in touch with a factory in Asia that produces goggles, and which will release after the first line of Clothing.

I am creating this post for some constructive criticism, opinions, and input.
I know the industry has tons of companies out there, but very few fulfilled my needs.

Quality, Style, Comfort, and Price.
The 4 biggest things a good company must have.
I am like many other NSer's and skiers. A Broke Ski Bum who doesnt have a ton of disposable cash.

3 Hoodie Concepts




So please leave some input.
Thanks NS
Mitch.

There is too much of these new "outerwear" companies that only sell hoodies. So i wanna see your skis and goggles.

What are you going to do to make me want to buy your sweater instead of someone else's?
How much per piece?
Shipping?
If you're trying to sell to broke skiers maybe you want to kill your profit margins to get them out of your door. I think that limiting a clothing company to skiers is a bad idea because you cut your target market. Try to make it more of an outdoor/winter company so you can sell to snowboarders too.
I'm no marketing guru. Just some thoughts.

Remember, People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it.

Seems like all new companies only have hoodies. Think they have good designs though and if you say they are going to be cheap then count me in.

your name is incredibly close to 'Avon' so i feel like you need more of a beauty aesthetic for your hoody designs. something to keep in mind.

Make some skis and goggles And sell those then advertise them with the hoodies/ t shirts.

If I want a hoodie, I will buy it from a thrift shop.Not an up and coming brand that costs twice as much online with the same quality. An Oakley Hoddie is cool Because it shows a brand known by its great goggles and outerwear. Make some skis in your garage. Start production with your hands on tools. Doesn't sound appealing at all to have googles that you had no part in the making of. Good luck with the company tho, Just not digging the current vibes.
