Not necessarily the same things we planned to make -- but items that were made with fabric. This way we could assess if our quality was up to theirs. A sample from several different sellers would be important -- ones who had consistent "good" feedback from buyers. <BR/><BR/>Anyway - that is one aspect of it and we eventually nixed the whole idea figuring it would be too much work. <BR/><BR/>Re: your boxes..if you go forward I would start by making several in a variety of fabrics with a general embroidered cover (like a flower or scroll work - etc). Something anyone could buy and then offer the initials as a special order. <BR/><BR/>I also noticed in our browsing steps (sis and I) -- lots of "modern" things out there -- seems to be a lot of sellers and clients in their late 20's early 30's who like Amy Butler type fabrics - for example. So maybe a few boxes in mod type fabrics..this way you are attracting shoppers from several generations. Maybe even some with no embroidered top. A mix like this might give you an idea if it's the fabric, the embroidery or a combination of both that buyers like most. Which would be good info to know should you decided to add other things to your store eventually. <BR/><BR/>Just some ideas.Lucyhttp://hereslucy.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.com
