I have been faithful lurker for several years and this is my first post. I have many years of apparel experience along with my wife. Anything and everything to do with clothing we have accomplished. Retailing, manufacturing, buying, etc.
I have been trying to come up with an idea that could benefit conservative and traditional minded Americans. Why not put together a website that would provide access to hundreds of retailers that would give conservatives great deals on clothing, shoes, books, services, etc., and provide rebates to help fund their favorite charities or bloggers?
Why not put our hard earned dollars toward retailers that support us and want our business? I have talked to people that would be more than happy to do this. I feel that one way to assert power is not to boycott businesses but to buy from their competitors. Put together a large enough group and they they will come to us.
I want to know if this is something that could gain support or not? Please let me know your opinions and or advice. I believe in the wisdom of crowds and think the people of Free Republic have a plentiful supply.
I like it. Beats getting stuck with contributions to the lefty “cause du jour.”
I have a great idea for a piece of apparel. I mean really out there. Get back to me if interested.
I don't have any opions.
There is half an onion in the fridge.
I'm not even clear what an "opion" is.
Is it an opiate, a drug?
Ever since Obama won the election in 08 every time I work for someone that I know voted for him I add 20 % to the bill
I've got some beer in the fridge if you want one.
Forget the clothing.
We need something that would track in real time who had bullets for sale and who doesn’t.
That’s my opion.
Frankly, I don't like to see patriotism tied to commercial promotions.
I’d like to see a conservative themed site for selling designs like Zazzle.com or Cafe press etc. I come up with lots of stuff that would go great on T-shirts, hats, posters and protest signs. I just don’t really want to sell them through anything other than a conservative site.
bttt
Have you thought of simply advertising on the blogs/sites of conservatives or Christians that are already out there??? I try to support the people I know that are already in the fight!!!
I also support Jewish products, services proudly knowing that they need economic support from us.
This has been tried before, but some businesses fake the conservative support to get your business but still support liberals with their dollars.
It is not as cut and dry as it sounds.
Opions are like @ssholes. And honey Lifesavers.
I think Opions are those that work for Obama.
ROTF!
They went to the al baby school of spelling
No opions.
I’m just here waiting for the 1st.....
