FREE Handmade clothing and Hair bows

2 replies

Mrsahmed80 · 21/01/2019 22:36

Hi my name is Iqra and I make handmade items for babies such as clothing and hair accessories. I’m fairly new and only made Instagram roughly 8 months ago. Are there people out there that buy handmade? I know before I started making items I never did buy them thinking they were overpriced but now that I’ve come to make my own I now realise the costs..

I wanted to build a following and to do this I had sent out freebies (bow box to a number of winners) I want to start doing mini raffles so the winner gets a suprise bow box for as little as £1 and all they have to do pay postage.. this is for my bows only, however I can do the same for clothing but start it at £2.50 a number..

I’m unsure in what to do to gain a customer base, pictures of the bows don’t do them justice also the items of clothes are beautiful..

What would you lovely people suggest?

How can I see the pennies comming in.. I have over 6k followers on my clothing page and 2k on my accessories page

Please help..

Have you tried having a stall at local craft fairs/ school fairs?
Advertising on Gumtree/Facebook?
Putting a leaflet up on local indoor play areas/churches/shops/ cafes/ schools/ swimming pools where young families might go often.
Word of mouth might be good too.
