Want to start selling but nervous

[chinton]

Hi want to start selling my dog grooming bows but im really scared people wont buy them or will not like them when they get them.

How can you tell when your things are good enough to start selling?

Go for it! You'll never know unless you try. Be proud of what you make!

Awww thanks

I just think people, if they do buy may not be happy or something when them

These are some that I have made:



Do you think I should sell them individually or make packs or 4 or 6 say? Also, what would you charge if you were me?

Thanks, im so nervous!

They are dog bows btw!

Oh and is eBay the best place to sell?

your dog bows are cute, i have never sold on ebay but i sell mine in wholesale to a couple groomers, i just went in and made an appointment with them and showed them my stuff they were really nice women.

Thank you. I think I need more practice though. We don't have too many groomers over here and they certainly dont use bows.. but i love em anyway lol so making them myself!

Do you have any tips on making dog bows? Those are the only sort I know how to make.

Do you think they look OK and how much would you pay for them or should i quit lol?

You might still check with the groomers. I have friends who used to be groomers and they loved using bows and bandanas, they just didn't always have them available. You might be surprised that they love the bows that you make!

So think about what you are worried about -

Customer not getting what they expected: Work on clear pictures and precise descriptions.

Quality of the overall bow: Work on sewing them securely, etc. Test them out. Give them to friends and let their dogs put some wear and tear on them.

Pleasing color combos: Search for other dog bows and see what color combos/prints appeal to you.

Just list any concern you have and figure out a way to solve it. Research and be the best you can be at your craft. And remember, the easiest way to make a sale is if you are confident/love the items yourself.
