Hello ^^ how have you guys been? Random post from me today but my boyfriend has been talking me into starting a business with him. As to why? So we can save faster and hopefully get me to Europe. This isn't much on crafting but more on asking if the business is a good idea?
So I've been making woven bracelets since my childhood and it's been a thing passed down from the women of my mom’s side and I usually just see them as gifting items. However my boyfriend thinks they would sell good since the ones I make now are pretty close to lace-work now and it has way too much combined influences from north and south weaving styles in my country.
And I've also been incorporating beads and a few mineral stones into some of the stuff I do but I've never thought of selling them before.
Maybe I'll try to write in this community to showcase more of the styles I can do but... do you guys think it's a good idea? do you guys think I'd have a market if I sold these? cuz if he's really gonna push me to start this business, I would really appreciate the encouragement and maybe some business tips for those that already have a business 🥲
Actually any tip would do for me. We planned to give this a try after mining season so that would be around August or September for me then we were thinking of just making a supply on-hand as the months go by. But how do you even start a business to begin with?
