Help! My bows aren't selling! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I would say, be patient! Your bows are beautiful and if you have good customer service and a good product, your name will get around. Everyone is probably right too, it's the time of year.

Your bows are beautiful. From experience, my best advice is to keep doing what you are doing, keep making the bows and bide your time. You are still fairly new here at YT and it may take some time for people to associate your User ID with bows.

DON'T GET DISCOURAGED AND DON'T GIVE UP!

I just love your selection!! That cupcake and cherry ribbon is toooooo cute!!!!! Also, I saw a lime green palm tree button...that would make an adorable Summer bow.

I wish that Livi wore more bows, but I just can't ever get the rubberband in correctly and then I am horrible at getting it out of her hair. If she didn't typically only wear alligator or pinch clips, I would definitely buy from you! I betcha, if you made a cupcake bow with a matching button and listed it on here, you would sell them...there seems to be a lot of people that like the cupcake theme....same with the cherries. Just a thought....

Good luck, you will start to sell more, I'm sure.

Hi hang in there - I'm a bow lover and so is Izzy but we are bowed out for now. Plus I didn't know you did bows but I do now! Once you put your bow designs on your site that will be better for customers to see what you are making. Good luck and please hang in there - it's tough out there right now as I am trying to pay off Christmas yet.

Love your webiste design very pretty.

I think your bows are gorgeous, but I have a hard time spending more than a couple dollars on a bow. This is because Tucker doesn't exactly love them and destroys them as soon as he can get them off. Thus, I try to buy less expensive ones that are made for single use. These, of course, are not as good of quality as yours are, but since I know he will only wear it once this way works best for me. I have a friend that will make tuckers for $.20 each, so that's what I do.

If I had a little girl that was more gentle on bows and that would actually leave them on for more than pictures and going out I would definitly invest in your bows. I think for the quality they are they are a good price!

Hang in there

These are pretty tough! Adelaide rolls in the covers and on the floor trying to get them out and doesn't succeed. She also digs at them with her paws! They are completely hand sewn so I think that helps! I also us the grosgrain ribbon because it doesn't pick like the satin does. The ones they put in Adelaides hair at the groomers fall out or apart right away! LOL!
