Hi, I am a graphic design student and I have been thinking of creating a design brand. Specifically, I have been thinking into creating wallpaper designs. Once my brand breaks into the market and does well, I hope to expand to other interior decor items.
Here are some few questions I have.
1. Is this a fastlane business idea? I guess I'm really curious about how much passivity this kind of business can offer. Ideally, in the future, I will be concentrating on producing the designs only. I figure maybe new product offerings (collections) every 6 months because most small design boutiques do it that way.
2. I am thinking to get the funds necessary for initial marketing and production by working first. Is this the best way? I don't want to ask more money from my parents and my assumption is banks will not loan money to a recent graduate. Is that true? I have no idea how much money I need at this stage although I think it will not be that much.
3. In my research, I was unable to get an estimate into how big the wallpaper market and sales are at all. How do I best approach the owner of a furniture gallery to let me in on the numbers and size of market?
Thanks for helping out. I really appreciate it.
Oh I'm new to this forum,too so hope I can get to know all of you better.!
