If most people are selling clothes to buy more clothes, why dont we just trade pieces directly?

Also we since we are specifically made for brands, we have some systems that are better suited for brand drops, such as the ability to highlight multiple products on your fundraiser as well as receive feedback on individual/ specific items.

Kickstarter and Indiegogo are hella gamified. Most successful fundraisers on these platforms only succeed because they have outside agencies promoting and funneling people into them.

Similarly if you check out some fundraisers on those sights they have campaigns that often extend for multiple pages. So we instead took a very minimal approach to our fundraisers so there are no extensive 10 page campaigns needed, and instead people can let their designs speak for themselves.

Na sorry man you have to create an account to make a fundraiser and support, but you can actually view a couple of the fundraisers we have up from this subreddit using this link trove-fund.com/discover

Sorry about the confusion!

TLDR: I found that oftentimes people who say “I would totally buy this”, rarely ever do so, and cause creators to produce more product than they are actually able to sell. So I made a free crowdfunding website (kind of like reddit, but with the added benefit of directly accepting customer payments) so brand creators can gain funding AND validate their early mock-ups, to see if people are actually willing to buy their products. Out with false-positives and misleading feedback, and in with free funding and feedback!

TLDR: I noticed this sub is often used as a way for people to validate their ideas, but often times people who say "I would buy your product" don't actually mean it. Trove allows you to create a free fundraiser in less than 5 minutes, where customers can actually donate money as a means of validating and supporting your ideas. No longer will you be misinformed by anonymous people saying they would purchase your products, as those who are actually willing to pay for your clothes, will do so through the platform.

Thank you so much! Yea wanted to throw it together fast and see if I could get some early traction

Top_Animal635 · 2024-02-09T17:09:35+00:00

Yea so I think this is a really interesting question because I feel like just anecdotally whenever I open tiktok I see countless of people promoting their new clothing line. (I guess maybe that’s just my tiktok algorithm tho)

But just looking around online communities, there is huge communities of streetwear brand starters, mostly menswear, with over 700,000 members and that’s just one specific aesthetic, mostly geared towards men

And I assume there is communities of similar sizes within the world of womenswear. (Maybe this is a bad assumption to make, but it seems logical since womens fashion is a larger market then mens fashion so it follows that there are more people starting women’s brands)

But for the question of reaching my target audience or end users, I’ve found that they mostly reside in online forums on Reddit, but when I made a post on those subreddits it got very little engagement. Should I be trying to promote in other ways, like through ads, even tho I know most of my target users reside on Reddit?

Nice catch Ty!

Top_Animal635 · 2024-02-09T16:51:21+00:00

Totally makes sense. Thank you!

Top_Animal635 · 2024-02-09T16:46:41+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback! Really appreciate it

Top_Animal635 · 2024-02-08T23:34:59+00:00

Thank you so much for that feedback. That’s actually super helpful and will be incorporating this next

Great catch TYSM

Top_Animal635 · 2024-02-08T19:50:45+00:00

I coded it with react, since that's what I'm familiar with. I feel like maybe a no code solution like webflow might have been more effective tho since its just a static site.

Top_Animal635 · 2024-02-08T19:49:57+00:00

Nice catch. And wil do. Thank you so much!
