How and Why I Started My Online Lingerie Business

How and Why I Started My Online Lingerie Business.

This is the most common question of curiosity I get from customers, so I decided to share a little inside information on the subject

I started my first website discount-intimate-apparel in 2001. At the time I was working in a food factory as a Sanitation Supervisor. I was surfing the Internet looking for bargain prices on bras and I found that I could get them very cheaply if I bought them by the dozen. So I proceeded to buy by the dozen and sell the ones that were not in my size to co-workers. Then I started to get requests, and one thing led to another.

I always wanted to teach myself how to make web pages and so I began creating my first website. It was a really rough site done by hand in HTML. Everything was going good, I could hardly keep up with the sales. Then I quit my job and about that time Forbes put out an article about Online Lingerie shops being one of the most profitable businesses to start up.

I have to admit since this all started things are not so great these days. I know there are like a million lingerie websites and the competition is rough. Our main site is located at http://www.ladystrange.com and we have set up a storefront at http://www.ladystrange.ecrater.com. Many of my woes come from the fact that I do not like to over hype products, prices etc..(I am a terrible salesman, but a wonderful shopper). I still struggle along to try and keep up with the changes in the Internet, thus this blog. I try desperately to keep in touch with customers and their desires.

Today I try to keep with the original theme of things. A variety of products from a ton of quality vendors and manufacturers available in a variety of sizes. I have always waited to get close out merchandise so I can pass the savings along, and have inventory of unique pieces. That is why some sizes are limited.

I know the guys wanted a kinky fetish answer to how I started this business. I am sorry to disappoint you. Post a comment if you have any other questions you would like me to answer.

Thanks for reading, bye and have a nice day.

Nightgowns, Nightgowns, and more Nightgowns. Great Gift Ideas for Mother's Day.

Well, I have been digging through the inventory and finding more and more Nightgowns. I do not know where they are coming from, I think they are mating while I am not looking.

Guys, I know some nightgowns are not the sexiest things in the world. But us ladies consider them self indulgent. It is nice to have something comfortable and pretty that can worn with ease around the kids. Now if the ladies in your life are anything like me, they would not waist money on something so self indulgent as a nice nightgown or chemise set. So, guys it is up to you spoil the women in your life with some nice new sleepwear.

Oh Yes and sleepwear is good for mom's, too.

Volunteer Moderator Wanted for Men's Panty Fetish Group.

I started a yahoo panty fetish group some time ago and I am unable to donate enough time to keep it up as a matter of fact I have neglected it terribly.

The theme of the group is "men whom wear panties or lingerie, but are not gay." If anyone is interested in helping me breathe new life into this group Please Contact me
Sherri Ladystrange@earthlink.net.

I would prefer some whom is passionate about this subject matter. However, I would consider a co-op with another lingerie dealer.

Froogle is Taking Sexy Back! Censorship for Lingerie Stores

I have been diligently working our stores inventory. In the background froogle automatically gets our feeds. I began to notice that only 15 of our 300+ products were showing up on froogle.

So I decided to manually enter a product. When I got done with the description and tried to enter it, I got a message froogle does not allow the word "sexy".

Back in January I noticed that my website was flagged as adult content. The word "lingerie" immediately makes a website adult content in google search engines. This is fine by me, as I am not comfortable with an 8 year old viewing our website. However, this is pretty extreme.

I wonder how this is going to come out in the wash. I wonder if froogle is going to offer an adult area to sell these goods in the future?

Quite frankly I wish google or froogle would ignore these words as it so hard to keep up with the search terms people use, that do nothing to describe an item. Examples: Hot Lingerie, Trashy Lingerie, Sexy Lingerie, Erotic Lingerie, Exotic Lingerie, etc...

I wonder how the lingerie store webmasters are going to go. Choices are to tone down descriptive words to be included in froogle, or keep the words and rank high in adult content search engines.

Here are some words I have figured out that are censored
Google: Lingerie, Erotic, Exotic
Froogle: Sexy, (I am not sure yet about lingerie)

If anyone knows of words to add to the list let me know and I will keep this updated
