I'm not sure if I've broken the rules. let me explain. Originally we were given 20 dollars to start the company. this 20 dollars was to cover any overhead and/or inventory. Heres how i broke the rule, let me explain. I decided that we need to just start giving bows away to our close friends and family. Our hope was that our friends would meet people and they would ask "where'd you get that cute bow?" Our strategy worked!My cousin went to a baby shower and like every baby shower there are girls and moms everywhere! My cousin dressed her little girl in one of our adorable bows and off they went to the baby shower. One of the moms at the baby shower asked where she got her bow! This was the same exact experience my wife had the week earlier- at no other place than a baby shower! She told them about me and how I was making them for a school assignment. So, this mom actually called me and told me she like the bow but that she wanted to get a white bow for a baby blessing. I had no white material! I couldn't turn down the deal. So, off to Joanns I went. I bought some white material and we made a white bow. We sold it to this mom for $8.00. We could have probably made a little more, but it was stressful when she came over. It would have probably been helpful to have everything tagged with a price on it- so we wouldn't be caught in a weird place. I think she would have been willing to pay more- but hey- I am not complaining! That is our first sale! Now, hopefully we can sell more!!!
