Hello ^^ how have you guys been? Random post from me today but my boyfriend has been talking me into starting a business with him. As to why? So we can save faster and hopefully get me to Europe. This isn't much on crafting but more on asking if the business is a good idea?
So I've been making woven bracelets since my childhood and it's been a thing passed down from the women of my mom’s side and I usually just see them as gifting items. However my boyfriend thinks they would sell good since the ones I make now are pretty close to lace-work now and it has way too much combined influences from north and south weaving styles in my country.
And I've also been incorporating beads and a few mineral stones into some of the stuff I do but I've never thought of selling them before.
Maybe I'll try to write in this community to showcase more of the styles I can do but... do you guys think it's a good idea? do you guys think I'd have a market if I sold these? cuz if he's really gonna push me to start this business, I would really appreciate the encouragement and maybe some business tips for those that already have a business 🥲
Actually any tip would do for me. We planned to give this a try after mining season so that would be around August or September for me then we were thinking of just making a supply on-hand as the months go by. But how do you even start a business to begin with?
Congratulations, you received an ecency upvote through the curator @sahi1. Keep spreading love through ecency
They really are nice. For starting a business, I will say you should maybe give some out to influencers in your locality and from there, promotion will start.
I don't really know any influencer who live near me or would possibly help out with marketing, but I will definitely keep that in mind
Girl, this is so pretty, I mean, you're doing it ba even before as a hobby? Why you are like a master is it. The design is pretty, I think they would sell. And I think if you make something na in the trend, mabebenta syaaa. Like what if something related to KPop thing you know people love merch from their fav idols, so baka lang, if you make it into something like that, mas magiging ano sya, mabenta? Not sure pa rin. I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to this stuffs. Pero walang masama na etry even just what you already plan na.
Sabi nga din nung Isa cuz parang lace na talaga ginagawa ko and beaded na so IDK I'm just trying to build up a stock, buy yarn and beads right now, make a logo and think of a shop name so nag-uunti unti na kami and we're doing a bit of business laws and Philippine business approach din pero he's willing to wait for mining season to end before we actually start selling
really cool craft
