Im really excited to share this post today! I think I have found a market void that needs filled. Recently, I had a custom request for a cell phone case and she had a very specific request-dancing pigs! Pigs, dancing or not are actually quite hard to find. I first checked locally; and to my dismay, neither Hobby Lobby nor Joanne's carried them. I searched in the papercrafts for stickers, beads, seasonal, I even got desparate enough to look for cake decorations that I could make a mold of. Nothing. So, I searched online instead. Before I begin to sound like a Dr. Seuss novel, let me say I searched high and low there as well! I did find some stickers with some dancing pigs but they weren't the color scheme my customer was looking for. I eventually want to learn so comment if you know of great polymer clay blogs for beginners! I've seen so many neat things I can't help but want to experiment!
I'm no marketing expert but I feel like this is an opportunity for crafters and beadmakers. Certainly there is more than one person in the world that fancies dancing pigs? Without a doubt. I would love to see someone talented with polymer clay make some cabochons or a scrapbook maker could design some pages! It never hurts to look into creating and making some test proofs to share with an online audience. You could take it a step further by asking for feedback! Customers love knowing that their opinions matter! Submit links to your work to be featured in my blog! Thanks for reading!
