Look at the cost of the materials, you want to be making a profit on each items whilst also staying competitive. Have a look at your competition, what are they selling their products for and can you beat them on price? If not, can you beat them on quality? You could take into account your time to make them but this will depend on how efficient you are at making them, with time you will get quicker!

Have you tried in person events? Craft markets are a good place to start and get your business out there. Building loyalty with good quality products and brand visibility is so crucial.

I plan on posting updates in the near future! Stay tuned & thanks for the positive feedback 😃

It took about three months to get my products on the shelves from the initial email, I think it could have been quicker but as it was my first time doing this is was navigating the learning experience

This material doesn’t fray so I didn’t add any but depending on the material you could add a small hem there yes :-)

They slide along the dogs collar 🧚

This is a really interesting point and something to think carefully about - happy to do a video talking about my supply chain soon!

You do realize that Aliexpress is like Etsy. It is a platform where many companies sell their items. You need to find a company that works for you. To say you are put off by Aliexpress doesn't make sense.

You’ve got this!! Good luck ✅

Thanks for watching and glad you found it useful 😀

Love it!

Yes! Will get that filmed and uploaded soon 😀

Will be uploading more soon, thanks for watching 😀

The label was made on Etsy by another small business. If you search for the label style you like on Etsy you’ll be able to find someone with a small business making them for sure! Hope that help 😀

I wouldn’t say there is a standard template but there are a few useful things and a few necessary pieces of info to share with a potential supplier to make sure they are getting all the info they need without overwhelming them - I’m covering this in my next video so stay tuned 😀

Thank you 😀😀

Thank you! Yes I did design the prints myself using Canva - I’ll do a video to give a bit more explanation on how 😃

The patterns are available online if you Google ‘dog harness pattern for small dog’ the pattern will come up along with video tutorials. Glad you like them! 🥰

Thanks Tori! How did your pitch go?

FACTS

Hey! The tags that go on the bandanas are from Etsy and I literally such search for 'fabric product tags' and then had a look through the options from different sellers to find the ones that I preferred. Hope that helps :-)

Yeh this vinyl is transferred onto the fabric using a heat press - I use the heat press as you get a more even heat distribution than when using iron on. With regards to the iron on coming off your material, potentially you are not using a hot enough iron or the quality of the vinyl isn’t high enough, or you are using the incorrect vinyl (is it perhaps not heat transfer but stick on?) there should be an information leaflet with the vinyl which will tell you the temperature to use. 😀

Medium fits a medium sized dog, so something like a cockapoo or border collie - hope that helps 😀

I have the 'Brother AE1700' - it's a brilliant machine and I've found it's got all of the features I need for a reasonable price. Good luck with your venture!
