We probably had around 100 clippies, 100 bows in various sizes (from 2-5 inches with layers), and about 30 or so headbands (crochet, lycra, cotton, woven)...we just kept making as much as we could until about 2 days before. We did have some custom orders from people who came and others who sent their wish-lists, but couldn't come that day.
We got some leads for boutiques and we already have gotten a set-up with a local hair salon for kids to sell our stuff on consignment. We'll get 60% of the retail price, so I think that's pretty fair.
Now, we're going to focus on our website and getting the orders completed that we got that day. We also have to apply for our business license and become "official" since we haven't done that yet either.
It's crazy what possibilites there are out there for this kinda thing, but there's so much to handle all at once too!

I'm looking at all the technicalities of running a business too! so much to learn. I feel like there's a sharp learning curve. I think you're definately on the right track! way to go! keep up the good work .
