Jill Sundahl is a Los Angeles mother of two young hip kids who share her interest in helping the environment. Recently, Jill decided to put her money where her carbon footprint was, and opened an online and brick-and-mortar environmental specialty store in Studio City, California. Although still a little sprout, her jillybean green store is quickly growing up vibrant and strong. Here, Jilly shares with The Giggle Guide^® how “going green” in retailing can lead to healthy, thriving profits!

No matter how vigilant parents may be, kids are bound to get sick from time to time. Fortunately, there are many healthful products available to keep little ones comfortable and on the fast track to wellness. The Giggle Guide^® prescribes Boogie Wipes, Cleanoz, and homeopathic remedies from Heel and Hyland’s to help parents “make everything better.” Stocking these practical items in your store, especially during flu season, can also be a terrific tonic for weak sales.

Baby bodysuits, or one-pieces, have become a staple in layette and infant collections. One-pieces are ever-popular because they make it a snap to dress and diaper little ones, and they stay put on even the wiggliest of babies. Most romper basics with snap closure convenience can be quite plain, so design becomes a major selling point for retailers and customers who appreciate apparel with an aesthetic appeal. A singular sensation in the one-piece biz is Simple Syrup, a baby clothing company who offers artsy bodysuits inspired by the sketchbook of Danielle Duer.
