Some new ideas [heur SPAMTRAP]
How about simple-to-make "make your own jewelry" kits? They
would be a great thing to do for parties.
Did you fill out my survey yet? If not please
do:
I want your feedback on some new creative ideas
I am thinking of:
A couple other things not on the
survey:
1) What do you think of bags of beads - like
nice cabachons - amethyst, peridot, onyx, blue chalc... etc... in small
plastic bags - maybe 50 beads/ bag in different sizes. This would be both
for my customers who make jewelry to use on their own as well as to re-sell.
Maybe include some beading wire in there as well?? I dont make jewelry ( no
skills in that area - how ironic!) so let me know what you think in terms of
sones/ quantities, etc... as well as should I include wire? If so what gauge
and material? Anything else I should include in the bag/ kit?
2) I like to think hedge, which I think is esp
relevant now. I am sure there will always be a market for jewelry, but its
100% going to shrink in the next year so the trick is to diversify in time.
I am thinking of something totally new - not sure if I would sell on same
website or different. LED lights. Something that is practical and saves you
money. I would probably start with the simple ones - the stick on battery
lights, maybe the mini flashlights, that sort of thing... maybe brand them
and include some promo material. Theoretically, from just YOUR perspective,
would you be willing to give a try retailing a product like this? Not
looking for a committment! Just gauging interest. Whatever I decide to stock
will be super cool and practical.
Looking forward to your feedback.
This past 2 weeks (kids out of school) seems
like forever - I mean FUN! Lots of mtn biking, sledding, hanging out, etc. I
really enjoy having them around. Its going to be hard going back to the work
schedule. I can't wait til summer :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Thanks,
