Income Ideas: Designer Doggie Duds
January 20th, 2010
Americans spend a whopping $30 billion a year on their furry canine friends and an increasing amount of that cash is being channeled into the doggie duds business. Sweaters, coats and rain jackets are the obvious big sellers but, there is also a big market for doggie hats, goggles, shirts, booties, scarves and much more.
To start your own doggie clothing company from home requires very little in the way of initial investment – a good sewing machine and some suitable fabrics are the basics – and if you have an eye for fashion and a talent for self-promotion you can go far. The industry itself really knows no bounds so if you can dream it up and a dog can wear, it chances are people out there will buy it. For example one power seller on eBay has sold thousands of dog bikinis over the last few years and at $20 each that adds up to nice chunk of change.
The wonderful thing about dog owners is that when they find a great product aimed at their best friends they talk about it, so word of mouth promotion counts for a lot in this industry. Showcase your wares at local dog shows and promote yourself on some of the many dog lovers websites that are found in abundance online. Creating a dialogue with dog enthusiasts is the key to your home businesses success because if your products impress and delight them once the chances are very good that they will keep coming back for more and refer their friends to you too. Of course selling your dog clothing online will reach a wider audience and eBay is a great place to start.
