I really need feedback on this! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

my bff does promotional printing and we were thinking of making some yorkie Christmas ornaments and putting those on my site.

but there would be a pretty decent expense in getting everything...so we need to know your opinion...would you buy something like that????

do you have any ideas?? we are thinking those really nice glass balls and making some pretty yorkie design on there, the year, and maybe "I love my yorkie" or something like that.

we are TOTALLY up for suggestions...what do you guys think???

Oh I would definitely purchase one, they sound really cute, I think every doggie deserves an ornament on the Christmas tree...you could write the furbabies name on the ornament too!! I love it! You have such a creative mind....

i considered doing the names too...i would need to see what all in involved in that..since she does the printing i am not sure how difficult it would be for her to change it up for each order. i will be talking to her about this tomorrow. it might be super simple and we can make custom ornaments!!!!!!!!!!!

girlybella · 10-02-2007, 06:34 PM

Is there anyway you could paint and just hand paint the names on them? I know that I have seen craft ornaments that use some sort of paint....not sure though.

SevenGirl · 10-03-2007, 04:50 AM

Can't wait to hear what you find out. This is Bella's first Christmas and our pet boutique hadn't received their Christmas ornaments, so I was on the hunt for one!! I would much rather give my business to a YT member!

Hi! I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm working on personalized christmas ornaments. You know that I do personalized handpainted plaques and stuff, so I've been working on this for the last few weeks. They are gonna be handpainted in wood, and they will have the yorkie's name and more. I wanted to tell you this because lately there have been issues with people saying that they are copying each other and stuff. So I'll be posting my products soon, and I don't want anybody to take it the wrong way. Just wanted to make that clear and if you're gonna do them in glass they are going to be different anyway

Superstarkba · 10-03-2007, 05:51 AM

I would def do that, is there a way to put there name on it. I have been looking for cute yorkie ornaments. What do you think the price would be around?

Izzy Princess · 10-03-2007, 05:51 AM

Glass ornaments with personalized names....now those I would get...would you be doing in time for our YT GE???

pepe mint · 10-03-2007, 05:52 AM

thanks for posting this!!! yes, they will be different

I personally do not have the time to go around and see what everyone else is making and try to copy them

I simply get an idea..and go with it LOL when she first started her printing business, a lady told her that the most successful things she had done was going to different churches, taking a picture of the church, and putting it onto an ornament and selling them to the church members. so as i was sitting here last night, i thought "why can't we do that with yorkie stuff??"

i personally think competition is great...and if someone else can make my product better than i can...then great. it will keep me trying to improve

you are right...sounds like we are selling 2 different animals anyway

but i do appreciate you posting this so that there is not anyone out there saying we are trying to copy each other LOL silly how we have to cover our butts that way LOL
