natnat - 8p per board is amazing i paid £1.20 per board the other day!!!

Hollie - thank you although i think i could do them better need more practice i suppose. Im loving your little butterflys - what are they made from?


How do you guys go about promoting or is it just word of mouth?

Katie

there are 2 pairs of socks and 2 burping cloths to each one and a spoon
i did my own business cards on vista print so i leave them everywhere and attach them to my cakes,also set up a page on facebook and have over 600 fans on there

Giggle - how do you get an order for that many - i really dont know where to advertise or how to start :think:

Katie

The order was from one of the shops i sell in i have been selling them in there not for about 4 years so people do go back time and time again

Well done Giggle, that must be lovely to get big orders :j

I have three fairs in the next three days, plus someone is displaying my cakes at a cream tea afternoon tomorrow plus I am out sociallising tomorrow and Sat night, does anyone ever feel like they're doing too much and everything comes at once? I don't like saying no!

Hey Ho, early night on Sunday!!

Giggle - that is amazing well done - what kind of shop do you stock them in?

Hollie - thanks for that - i have made some buisness cards and posters etc - my mum has a pub so have some displayed there, also going to have a cake party where i can display all my cakes and hopefully get orders.

I have set up a facebook page but only have 100 or so friends.

May have to start leaving my cards everywhere.

Hello

I went to The Entertainer yesterday and they have all of the 'Shining Stars' cuddly toys (Tigers, Puppies, Kittens, Frogs, etc.) all for sale at £2! They were originally £10, so it is a great saving and a reasonably cheap price for good quality nappy cake toppers (or if you just wanted to treat yourself to a cute cuddly)!

Just thought I would let you know (I haven't read the above posts, so I'm sorry if it has already been discussed)!

Was that in a shop as they still appear to be £4 online.

Yes, it was in a shop. I actually bought four as I thought it was such a good price. There was a stand with all of them on (there were at least 30 there) so I thought it was a general thing, rather than store specific, as they weren't just dumped in a bargain bin - it seemed more like an organised display of reduced items.
