CHIQ is the Internet’s first social shopping site where users can not only see and shop for what’s hot in fashion; they also have a voice in shaping the marketplace. Community members upload fashion items they think are winners and give their feedback with the CHIQ-It voting button. Items are then ranked by the number of votes they receive.
“Ours is a community of style-savvy ‘experts’ who share
their views for fun, rather than profit,” reports Hall. With the Trendsetter Contest, points become prizes for the top three vote-getters, while recognition is the reward for the top 20 contest participants whose pictures will be displayed in an on-site gallery. CHIQ’s power to influence presents an unparalleled opportunity for emerging and established designers to bring their work directly to an enthusiastic and critical audience. “Chiq.com is an outstanding vehicle for designers who are building brand awareness or seeking to test the popularity of individual items within a social user base.”
She invites designers to use the CHIQ button feature to boost web traffic. “Of course our buttons are as fashionable as our designers,” Hall observes. “Web masters and designers can select from a group of stylish buttons and then easily copy and paste the code into their HTML editors.”
“At CHIQ, our fashion-forward community is plugged in and up-to-date. They’re uniquely positioned to decide themselves what’s hot and what’s not, rather than rely on potentially out-of-date fashion news from a search engine” Hall reports. “We believe our unique approach to providing an engaging new way to look at fashion and make it your own makes CHIQ an indispensable resource for fashionistas and designers alike.”
