How risky are you?

I know there are so many people out there who have great ideas for businesses, but they are risk-adverse and can't seem to take that huge jump into writing the business plan, getting the loan, and…Continue

Cassie - your page is great!!!  I do not make any diapers, I am a retailer for a variety of brands.  My site currently sells unique baby gifts, but I'm not quite ready to update that area - I'm still cleaning up the site and diaper lines.  But maybe in the future, we could work together!  Thanks a lot for the info. and I have your page saved.

hi Kala!

Do you make the diapers? If so, you could sell on Artfire.com also. I know you already have a site, but it is a good place for people to search for a product and come across you! It is free and there is an optional pro version. You can check out my page if you would like to see an example. http://www.artfire.com/users/PrincessPeanutBoutique

Hi ladies, I wanted to let you know I'm the new owner of a cloth diapering company!  The website is mybabyfirst.com and I would love any feedback or suggestions for making the site more appealing.  I'm currently updating the products and working to make the site more user-friendly. 

 

I've been cloth diapering all 7 months that I've been a mom and wouldn't do it any other way.  I'm also a registered nurse, so have researched a lot about toxins from 'conveniences' in our lives - thus, all glass bottles and very little plastic on our home.  If you have any suggestions or questions about my business, I'd love to hear from you!

 

My secret to holding it together - my husband's doing dishes now and I am calling everyone I've met (we haven't lived in this town long) to have a babysitter list for when I have to work outside the home. 

 

Any recommendations for marketing would also be appreciated.  Each cloth diaper saves hundreds from landing in our landfills - and they each take 200-500 (estimated) years to 'break down'!  So if you have questions - let me know.  They are so very easy and cute!!!!
