What if I have problems
uploading my images on
I Represent Fashion.com?
- If for any reason you experience problems uploading
your artwork, please e-mail your jpeg along with current
contact information to info@irepresentfashion.com.
Are there fees
associated with the site?
- There are no fees to upload your selected designs
- I Represent Fashion.com functions
as an exclusive on-line retail store and will add
a standard retail markup to your wholesale price
How do I receive
payment?
- Once the item is shipped to the buyer, the designer
will then receive payment
- When three months of consistent, reliable transactions
and ratings have been recorded (based on certain quantities)
for a designer, I Represent Fashion.com
will modify the payment policy and provide the designer
50% of their wholesale price upfront to cover production
costs. The remaining 50% of their wholesale price
will be received once the item is shipped to the buyer.
All details will be listed in Terms and Conditions
- All payments will be processed through the Amazon.com
marketplace. Fraud protection, payment methods, privacy,
and security as well as all features when purchasing
thru Amazon.com will be applied to I Represent
Fashion.com
What are the selling price
points?
- Categories vary on I Represent Fashion.com.
We are not setting limits to price points but prices
have to be competitive within your genre
- If necessary, I Represent Fashion.com
can advise on appropriate pricing based on each designers
brand identity
Who stocks and
ships the orders?
- You, as the designer, will be shipping the orders
to the buyers directly
- Once an item is sold, the designer will be sent
an email containing the buyers information
- I Represent Fashion.com has a
“buy now” feature that avoids the shopping
cart mentality and allows the buyer instant access
to the one of a kind designs
How can I sell more
than one of the same product?
- If a design is able to be replicated either exactly
or a 10% variance from the original piece, a production
limit will be set by you and an order sheet will be
provided per design detailing each buyers shipping
and size information. This enables buyers to pre-purchase
the desired piece.
- This first-come, first-serve method not only makes
your product more desirable, but it will allow you
production time for pre-orders. In addition, each
piece is only listed one time, detailing the quantity
you have pre-set. For example…you list a purple
shirt with a pink bird on it and know you can make
100 of these. The item will be listed on the site
and once the 100 is at capacity based on the order
sheet, the item will then be removed and will not
be listed again
- I Represent Fashion.com will not
be stocking any merchandise. This is a store front
for you, the designer
- Once the piece is sold, delivery must take place
within thirty (30) days from purchase date
I already have a showroom
contract or other agreement to sell my work.
Can I also sell my work on this Site?
Unfortunately, this is a legal question that has no
simple, uniform answer. Whether you can also sell your
work on the Site depends on the scope of your existing
agreement. Some agreements may prohibit you from selling
on this Site, and some may not. It is your obligation
to read, understand and comply with the terms of your
existing agreement. IRepresentFashion.com cannot provide
legal advice to you about your agreement or whether
it prohibits you from selling your work on the Site.
What are the demographics
of the buyers/target audience?
Buyers who are looking for items that enhance their
individuality. There is no set demographic,
the creative mind is limitless!
How will the site be promoted?
- Each selected designer will be asked to provide
at least two (2) samples from their line (Samples
are not guaranteed to be returned to the submitting
designer)
- I Represent Fashion will be contacting
editors of fashion-related weekly/monthly, national,
and international publications, television, and other
media to promote the designers (and their brands)
of I Represent Fashion.com
- I Represent Fashion.com’s
in-house PR Director has pre-established relationships
with various fashion editors/producers and will be
responsible for submitting the designers information
and samples for promotional purposes
- Celebrity product placement
- Cross promotion on Amazon.com
- Word of mouth
- Street teams at fashion related events
- On-Line advertising on fashion sites
- Incentive programs at universities
- Many promotion activities will take place throughout
the year
What other designers
will be featured on I Represent Fashion.com?
To Be Determined - New designers are being selected
and added weekly.
How is this linked with Amazon.com?
- I Represent Fashion.com is built
with Amazon.com technology
- Once your portfolio is posted and accepted on I
Represent Fashion.com, it will be automatically
positioned on Amazon.com in the appropriate section,
enabling your piece to be viewed by over 40 million
Amazon.com customers
- All payments will be processed thru the Amazon.com
marketplace. Fraud protection, payment methods, privacy,
and security as well as all features when purchasing
thru Amazon.com will be applied to I Represent
Fashion.com
- Due to the affiliation with Amazon.com, who is
established as one of the largest retailers in the
world, the designer has the benefit of being associated
with a secure brand, at the same time, allowing the
designer the freedom to keep the integrity of their
designs
How do I contact
I Represent Fashion.com?
We are available at info@irepresentfashion.com.
Can shipments be made from my company
of any of my line to any international
addresses?
Currently, IRO is not set up for international shipping,
but eventually will be. This does not restrict any shipping
program you already have in place. It only temporarily
limits international shipments with IRO at this time.
What is 'Listing
Expiration Dates'? Can you remove any item on
the date you confirm my request of removing any item?
To remove an item from the site, you just need to send
an email to support@irepresentfashion.com.
Again, I estimate the turn around time for this to be
24 hours.
Why do I need to provide
I Represent Fashion.com
with interactive media?
I Represent Fashion.com feels it is
necessary that the buyers are connected to the designer
by hearing/watching the designer’s vision, design
process, explanation of materials, design history and
what separates them from the rest. This way the customer
can truly appreciate the quality and uniqueness of each
piece. All details will be listed in Terms and Conditions.
How long is
each item listed and what
if it doesn’t sell?
- Each selected piece is listed on the site for one
month
- If a piece does not sell, it is simply removed
from the site and cannot be re-listed
About how long it does it take for
you to update the description
of the item(s) if any of the item details are changed?
We have a staff of technical pros so updating won't
take long at all. My best guess at this point would
be 24 hours.
How do I view
all items I have sold?
I Represent Fashion will forward the
designers a notice once their products are sold.
How do I report abuse of I Represent
Fashion.com‘s Terms of Use
or Privacy Policy?
You may send an email to disputes@irepresentfashion.com.
Each dispute will be taken seriously and dealt with
promptly.
