Embroidery Projects Part 3

When you think about selling embroidered items you have to think what people would buy. The good thing about personalised items is that you will never be short of customers. People will buy personalised embroidered products all year round, especially for unique gifts.

How to maximise sales
To increase your sales you have to think about tomorrow, by that i mean think about what people will be buying more of next week or next month. To do this you can go with the seasons and holidays. For example three weeks before the end of the school summer holidays parents will be on the Internet searching for school items with their kids names on. Especially first time schoolers and those entering year 7 of high school. Get in early and start promoting such products before the demand.

Some Embroidered products people will search for

Winter
In winter people go crazy and search for warmer accessories like scarfs and hats. Both of these can be embroidered. The beeny hats as they are called (the wool type) are fantastic, these can be embroidered for all ages, a fun slogan for adults and a name for kids, for example "princess Chloe" would be a big hit with 2-7 year olds. As for the scarfs you can either buy in bulk or you can make them very simply out of fleece. I will post how to make scarfs at a later date.

Summer
In summer you can sell baseball caps, beach bags, personalised bandannas (not just for dogs). What is also very popular in summer is fishing towels and sports products. The summer makes us feel active and we want the cool accessories to go along with our new hobby!

Celebrations
Now celebrations are something you can take advantage of all year round, and will most probably be your biggest earner.

Weddings - His and hers bath robes, his and hers towels. Personalised groom and best man socks. Honeymoon bedroom door hangers and many personalised bridesmaid gifts. Also think about wedding favours. Couples spend allot of money on these, you can do personalised tote bags and alternative place holders.

I will look at personalised embroidered gifts you can make for Birthday, fathers day, mothers day, christening and Xmas in my next post.
