Fantastic advice for the retail community

Larry Lucas is such a goldmine of information and I always appreciate how magnanimous he is with his advice to retailers and manufacturers alike. This is a great article—I didn’t attend the seminar but as a small, new manufacturer, I can’t get enough insight into the retail business. Larry happens to rep my line, but even so, have always appreciated the time he’s taken to patiently answer questions. I know he treats others just as generously in sharing his expertise.

faBOWlous® Layla Grace Hat Fundraiser
Comment by Simply faBOWlous on March 5, 2010 - 8:00pm.
In honor of precious Layla Grace and in an effort to try to help the Marsh family with their medical bills we have named the Layla Grace Hat. (www.LaylaGrace.org)
We know Shanna, Layla’s mom, because she reviewed a couple of our products on a blog she used to have blog, Baby Wears Prada, just before Layla became ill in 2009. One of the items she chose to review was our faBOWlous® White w/ Pink Peony Crochet Hat.
So, we have decided to donate $5.00 from every faBOWlous® Layla Grace Hat sold on-line to the Marsh family for the rest of 2010 (beginning March 1, 2010). See the faBOWlous® Layla Grace Hat: http://www.fabowlous.com/Child-Crohet-Hat-White-Pink-Peony.html
We will be sending the money to the family via LaylaGrace PayPal Donations at the end of each month as the Layla Grace Hats are sold.
To date we have sent the family $440 and we know we can send even more with your help.
Follow our donations each month on our faBOWlous® blog

Tiny Hineys are just lower-end immitations of The Plush Pad

Do a quick google search for The Plush Pad to find the original version of this design by Ah Goo Baby which has been out for years. Kind of lame for Tiny Hineys to do that to another mom-preneur. They’re essentially the same product except Tiny Hineys don’t have that cozy memory foam and cost more.

Good to Know
Comment by tommywants on February 25, 2010 - 6:13pm.
For a new brand, I think one of the most elusive things is choosing when and what market to attend for your particular merchandise. Also, it would be good to know “quality” manufacturers. I know for us, when we think “hey, we like to do this or that” we don’t really know where to start sourcing…it’s this big, mashed up mess of information, countries, unknown quality, etc. I know for myself, I have people messaging me all the time on twitter asking me how we sourced our clothing. That’s my two cents. Great site by the way…I’m on here quite often.

Tents Make Memories
I love this idea! Sounds like a good b-day gift too. Or you can get a bunch of them and make the entire room a “tent city.” I remember making tents at home as a kid … and my 3 were always making forts and tents too! Sheets and clamps were their materials. And, of course, an occasional huge cardboard box … for a “clubhouse.” Glad to see you tapping into the traditions of childhood and making it fun!
