Is Threadless a hit or miss?
I consider that Threadless is still a success because it is still a
disruptive company in the market and they have excellent ideas, their
main weapon is the co-creation method with which they have created a
large community of designers and collaborators that undoubtedly
provide great added value.
How does today's digital world impact (both positively and negatively)
on Threadless' co-creation strategy?
I believe that the digital world has a positive impact on Threadless' co-
creation strategy, as there are many digital channels to promote
products, every day new designers from all over the world join the
community through digital channels.
However, the current digital world also has a negative impact on
Threadless' co-creation strategy, since there are competitors who
sometimes use the same digital strategy unfairly, new companies that
copy the strategy by offering products at a lower price and The most
important thing for me is that every day with the presence in the market
of new advanced design programs it is more difficult to attract
designers who work with projects like Threadles, many of them prefer
to market their works of invention themselves.
How could Threadless improve its co-creation strategy? What tactics or
tools could you use to improve your success?
I think that Threadless should focus more on the positioning of its
brand, expand its community even more with other actors, give new
incentives to innovators through a greater participation in the benefits
and not simple royalties that often do not adjust to the value of the
product. design, I also believe that they should adapt a good
Intellectual Property policy with exclusive designs, I believe it is equally
important to attract the best designers with a high profile from the
community to work with Threadless.
