Fashion Industry Polls

First of all, what is a poll.   In summary, a poll is essentially a survey of the public or a sampling of public opinion to acquire information about a particular subject.  Polls can be taken either online or offline.  The Fashion Industry Polls term that I am creating (the one you are reading at this moment) is in reference to the method of taking polls online.  These online poles are the place where votes are cast and registered

In regard to Fashion Industry Polls, the polls are in regard to issues that are relevant to the fashion industry.  This can be a very broad spectrum which may include clothing, style, beauty products, modeling, fashion photography, trends, issues relevant to stylists, etc.  Anything regarding apparel, fabrics, and textile fibers, would also fall into the bucket.  

According to Apparel Search, we feel that their is a fine line between Fashion Industry Polls and Fashion Polls intended for consumers.  In our minds, a fashion poll would always be relevant to the "fashion industry".  However, a "fashion industry poll", may not always be relevant for a consumer. 

For example, a poll titled "What is your favorite shoe color?" may be of interest to both consumers as well as shoe companies (fashion companies).  However, a poll titled "What is the most difficult aspect of starting a fashion company?", may be only relevant to a fashion industry professional.

 

Below are a few examples of topics that we have used to create fashion industry polls as an example.
