I had the privilege of taking part in the Fundr Fest II: GAPalooza, a gathering that brought together online influencers and bloggers, local bands, and the Graphic Artists of the Philippines (GAP) community. We had a fun night of camaraderie over great music and unli-booze. We were introduced to a new startup brand called Fundr. A spin-off of CustomThread, Fundr is the Philippine’s first ever all-in-one platform for producing, customizing, and selling apparel. Now you can start an apparel business with little to no capital, and with professionals taking care of the logistics for you – from producing your clothing products to collecting your customers’ payments and shipping the orders both locally and abroad.

 

 

Establish Your Own Apparel Business through the Fundr Platform

Fundr is a platform that offers a complete solution for your apparel business needs, from the designing process to the production and delivery of products. Here’s how you can set up your own business with Fundr:

Design a shirt – Use Fundr’s Design App to upload your artwork, add text, and choose the fabric color. You essentially create a virtual sample of the apparel that you will be selling.

Set up a virtual store – This feature lets you create an online store for your products. You can customize your storefront, present a shop description and link the store to social media pages.

Keep track of your revenue – Your account comes with a Fundr Dashboard that lets you keep track of sales statistics and profits in real time. It also allows you to control which products to activate and which ones to phase out at any given time.

Leave the Fundr team to take care of the logistics for you – The Fundr team provides reliable fulfillment services. They will produce the products as ordered, process payments, and ship the products to individual customers.
