A bit of market research

[Tanya]

Do your kids wear plastic aprons whilst they are painting, baking and doing other messy stuff. Been thinking about stocking some and putting them on the website but not sure if I would be wasting my time

any opinions are gratefully received

[smirnoff]

i would love you to stock some!! I do need to get new ones as mine do wear them, they say it makes them feelk like proper artists/cooks etc.. but i cant find any really cheaply!!
They love the ones that look like grown up ones or the over the thp ones.. does any of that makes sense????

[Tanya]

did I say they would be cheap lol only kidding

what would you class as cheap. I would probably sell these at approx £5.99/£6.99 inc delivery but would need to weigh them first

would you like some pictures

[smirnoff]

yeah please although tbh i am so broke atm i cant afford anything!!! Not even 1p!!!!!!!!!! So it is something that i am thinking of for the future...

[Tess]

i got some for childminding...tbh ds hates them and i got an old top just for getting messy in...or he goes naked

[Tanya]

here are a few of them

[Tanya]

or this type

I used to sell childrens things at car boots and ebay and I sold aprons. Just to let you know, I could never have enough in stock! They always sold really well, espeically to child minders and playgroups etc.

Hope this heps you alittle my son is too young at the minute (hes only 6 months!) but I will using them when hes old enough to make a mess!

thanks helen, do you the think the price is ok for them, would you personally pay that much

I think you may have given me an idea too

[Tanya]

I didn't mean say that much, that makes them sound really expensive doesn't it

[smirnoff]

i think they are really lovely! And a good variety too.. i think they will sell really well!!!!!!

[Tanya]

thankyou I think I will order some next week, just need to decide which ones lol

[smirnoff]

i like the over the top ones, far better when dealing with more than one of the messy blighters!! If i had the money I would order 2xpurple naughty fairy one, and 1x pat. Dont know if that helps or not lol!!!!

[Tanya]

it does help, I didn't know what kind of response I would get and it's nice to know peoples preferences on the characters too

[smirnoff]

my 2 year old claims to be a princess so something princessy would be ideal. My eldest is into power rangers and as he is 5 it has to be the right look!!
my youngest doesnt really care, as she is too tiny to voice an opinion!!!

power rangers hey, guess what I ordered yesterday. T-shirts!!

These will probably be a regular stocked item so maybe in the near future when you win the lottery you could have a look

[Girlzmum]

My MIL bought an apron for madam and she loves it. Insists on wearing it when we're baking (and I have to wear mine as well!) Although could be needing a new one when K is a bit older.

as soon as i do i will be "spend spend spend" ing lol....

[helen.broadhead]

yes I think the price is right. £5.99/£6.99 sounds great to me including postage. i would buy them for J when he is older. From my experience Thomas the tank is the most popular by far for boys and princesses/fairies for girls.

Good luck with them!

I am getting postman pat, thomas, little miss naughty fairy, little miss and mr men

I think I may have to increase the price by £1 as made a mistake, checked with the wholesaler and I was a £1 less, oooops sorry my mistake, very tired today got up too early

thanks to you all for helping me on this one. I just hope I sell them now what with the new price and everything.

[sadierhianne]

I get them for my kids - i am currently looking for small sized cotton aprons if anyone knows a wholesaler who sells them.

Apparently you now have to supply your own aprons when your kids go to school.

I'm sorry but I don't know of anyone who sells cotton ones

Are you talking about secondary school, ds started last September and we thought we had to buy one but we paid into a scheme for the whole time he will be at school and they would supply one. Can't remember how much we had to pay

[MrsH]

awwwww those aprons are lovely :wub: especially like the first ones.

But have just bought the TTT one from ELC for £5 and the second lot of designs you have sell at my local 'Bits and Bobs' shop for £4 .

So i guess the price is right when you add on p+p :happy72:

Im sure you would do well selling them as they are always very handy for painting and baking :-)

[Daffs]

Yes yes yes!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeease do! I have been looking for a nice kiddy sized apron for ages :clapping: :happy72: :woot: :party05:

[Daffs]

LOVING the Little Miss aprons! Sorry, only saw the pics after replying previously in my excitement :fryingpan: :woot:

[Kaya_anne]

Most definately, i trailed around town trying to find a apron that wasn't too girlie for my two year old son. If you could get them and sell for sheaper than 6.99 you may be on to a winner as I saw them in elc for 6.99 and as well as being a bit girlie I thought that was a bit pricey, as it turn out my nan picked me up one in portsmouth and costs only a pound lol!

Don't forget the mummies too, one thing i didn't think abt with my little boy painting is i'll be a mesy as him! So maybe adults ones cheap too.

Hope that helepd a little bit. Best of luck.

I could probably sell the aprons for £5.99 inc p&p but the tabards will be about a pound more

sorry but it wouldn't be worth my while selling any cheaper than that and it does include postage and no more trailing the kids round the shop have it delivered straight to your door :D

[Tanya]

I will let you all know when I get some in stock :happy72:
