Market research, help me out

...and an entrepreneur is born.

so, White navy and baby blue? I have white and navy. When do you need it? I can go to the craft store. It shouldn't be hard to find those colors, does white navy and baby blue sound close enough?

Those are so cute! I would buy them if I had a daugther, maybe for my niece.

Those are adorable bows!!

Baby blue should be great, yes!

I don't need it any special time - their season is over in 3 weeks and I wouldn't expect to have it before then. I'd love to have them for next year though - 2 sets if possible!

Let me know your prices and if all of the designs you posted are for sale - there's a few others I'd be interested in.

thats why you need a consignment shop or small gift shop where you could market them Then you could let the law of supply and demand determine the value of your beautiful bows.

Good Luck those are very pretty

Those are so cute!!

Do you mind if I ask how you make them? I tried making them before and I suck LOL

Do you have instructions you could maybe let me borrow??

I think bows you buy in the store are too expensive, so Natalie doesnt have too many.

But you are really talented!

Its not hard, I just loop them around my fingers and sew them into the right shape. I guess it would be easier to just show you.

That would be like a restuarant giving away their prized recipe IMO. Please don't take offense to my honesty, but it really wouldn't be of Tara's benefit to give over the instructions IMO...That is IF she really wants to make a business out of selling them. Which BTW Tara, I really think you should go for it! I've seen bows like this in the girls section at Nordstroms. Again, I think they would pay at least $10-$12 there for a pair. Remember to factor in the time it takes you to make them too.

I think the bows are beautiful! Just to cover yourself I would write somewhere for ages 5 and up because of the small parts so the little ones don't put the parts in there mouths.

LOL

Tara maybe you and I can go in business together.



You make the bows, I'll make the dresses.

Sounds good!

I just bought a few bows at our local consignment shop.

The small one (about 1.5") are $2 ea
Med (about 2.5") are $3 ea
Large (about 3.5") are $5 ea.

There are discounts for 8 or more.

These are on the hair clips instead of barrettes which make them easier to put in & probably cheaper to make too.

I just thought of an idea if you have a break room at work set them on a table with a note $2.00 a piece - please see me for details with your name. Might get a few buyers.

I wish I could. I don't think it would be appreciated.

I would definitely buy some! My advice to make yourself even more marketable to a larger group would be to make some on alligator clips. I bought a whole lot of them(i think 50 clips) on ebay, they were new, for like 2 bucks! I recently changed all ofher bowbands over to clips using a hot glue gun and the clips I bought on ebay.

The alligator clips stay in their hair a lot better when they're little.

Wow, at your prices I would totally buy them....when I said I was cheap I meant I wouldn't pay $6+ for a pair, but your price point is really great, I'd absolutely pay that

eta: Just my two cents, but the color in Pam's pic looks more like a turquoise to me than a baby blue

I am working on getting some stock right now, but when I have a site set up I will definitely let you guys know. I really appreciate your support on this. I'm so excited about it!

I as gonna say I think $2-3 for 1 set is high, but I'd pay that for 2-3 sets, like $1.00-$1.50 for one pair or $2 for 2 sets or something along those lines.
