MEGA SALE Now On!!!!!

That's right.  It's a MEGA SALE at MooBeeTees Etsy Shop.  Nearly everything has to go and it's all $10!!

We're changing direction - I'll still be making fabulous dresses for the girls, but I'll have much more choice and create some fabulous accessories to complimate each frock. The real change is that MooBeeGran and I will be concentrating on creating wonderful tactile Sensory Toys for the young (and young at heart!).  Toys that make you want to pick them up and pat them, squeeze them, hug them - and be comforted by them.


MooBeeGran will be concentrating on toys made from yarn and I will be building up the toys made from fabric.  Now I have a fair idea of what we would like to produce, but YOU are my consumer - what do you want to see?

Do you want to see toys shaped liked dinosaurs, flowers and cars - or would you like shapes; squares, circles,etc.

OR - Would you like to see both?

Also do you want clips so you can secure them to a pram?  Perhaps on some covered elastic, so little ones can move them around but not throw them out of their pram or cot (or car seat!)?

We would love your feedback on this?  We're excited and want to be able to incorporate your ideas - tell us what you need/want.

I'll keep you informed as we go along.  It's going to be a very exciting journey!!

Change is as Good as a Holiday...

 

Or so they say.

Whilst standing in the middle of our market stall last Saturday MooBeeGran and I had a moment.  None of my tees were selling.  Well, we sold two, but that's not enough to feed the children.

'Aren't they as good as everyone elses?' I asked MooBeeGran.

'Of course they are dear.' she replied.

'Then why isn't anyone buying them?' I asked.

'It's winter.' she said.

'Since when did the season have anything to do with a cashed up mother at a market?' I quickly shot back.

At that point I received the stare of a mother who was not going to answer any more childish questions.  I knew when to stop talking.  But it did make me think.

What could I do differently?

What should I do differently?

What is my point of difference?

Do I offer enough choice?

How do I make myself stand out from the crowd?

As a result of asking these questions there are going to be some changes at MooBeeTees.  We are still going to make beautiful handmade items for children - but - and this is a big but - we are going to streamline our range, give you more choice within it and  do it better than before.

 

Big words, I hear you say.  True, but I think change is an all important component to any business, fledgling or established. So this is our first important change.  I'll let you know more about it as it happens, but I'm sure you'll all be pleased with the results.  I know MooBeeGran and I will be.

Change.

How has it shaped your art/craft?  How do you embrace it?

The first part of our change challenge will be a Mega MoobeeSale...more on this shortly.

Cheers!
