See first hand what Swapmart will do...

Hi there, As you may know, I'm building a platform to help people exchange the clothes they no longer want brand new or used items. I'm part of the Founder Institute a start-up accelerator program,where they push us to test each part of our idea. If you would like to be a part of this I would ask you to take 5 minutes of your time to try the test platforms, one for clothes exchange and the other for trading clothes you no longer want points you can exchange for designer exclusives.
 Prototype for exchange: click here
Survey for exchange: click here
Prototype for trading-in clothes for points for designer exclusives: click here

 Also, please do share this with friends and like-minded people as the exchanges will get more and more interesting as the number of users increase.
 Thanks so much,

Why clothes swapping is the next best thing since... shopping for clothes

Is it just me or you sometimes buy clothes and shoes out of impulse to later realize that they either: a. don't fit your style b. don't fit. c. were a great trend but you don't like them anymore You then end up with a closet full with a bunch of stuff you don't wear anymore. On the other end, they're still new enough that you don't want to give them to good will but not new enough to return to the store (yep, you took out and threw away that sticker!). So then you're stuck! Wait, you're not the only one in that situation so you get together with a couple of friends on the week-end and you decide to exchange your unwanted items with one another and it been comes a win-win situation... Except, most of your friends don't necessarily wear the same size clothes, shoes or the same style as you. So you're back at one. You could always go on Craigslist and try to sell your clothes but their value has gone down since you've bought them. Would it be great to be able to have the possibility to exchange your items with people from around the globe for free and always be able to renew your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Well I've got a solution for you...Want to know more? I'm currently doing a survey to determine if this project can be improved: https://fr.surveymonkey.com/s/52YC3MB You can win a free jewelry set if you answer the survey before March 10,2015 at 8 pm. Also, I've created a specific survey for local designers to get some leads and brand recognition through the site: https://fr.surveymonkey.com/s/ND9GXT8 Let me know what your needs are and we will do our best to add this to the platform! Thanks in advance and good luck!!
