is this a good idea for a home business?tell me what you think please.?
i already have a really high paying job but it doesnt take up much of my time so i thought about opening a home buisness and im really good with crafts of all kind but i would like to make teddy bears that are personlized kinda like build a bear i guess but people would order them.and i was thinking craft shows and ebay.and make no bear the same so everyone would be one of a kind.is this something you might want i mean bears are great keepsakes for kids right?and theres valentines,easter,christmas,halloween,and birthdays.for themes.how many people think this is a good idea?please dont be rude.any tips or help would be apprecitated also thanks alot.
That is a wonderful business idea! Craft shows and ebay would be better for having a large variety of premade bears. If you take orders through those, be sure to get full payment up front.
You could do smaller, easy bears also – bear of the month club, holiday bear club, birthday bear club — endless possibilities.
Custom bears could include bits of special blankets or fabrics (such as someone’s favorite shirt or dress).
Find your local small business development center and you’ll have invaluable free resources to help you set up your business. http://www.asbdc-us.org/
Also try to find a local mentor on the crafting end who can give you special knowledge in your field.
Think of where you’ll keep your supplies, what storage and sewing room you’ll need, how you’ll ship them (special boxes? which shippers?), etc. Most of all, remember to keep this fun for you while keeping both costs and day to day details in hand.
Best of luck with this!
I think you should scrap the teddy bear idea and become an English teacher…
(yes, this is sarcasm)
