Have you decided on the name yet Saluki?
The Baby Bits Hamper Company
I went out with 'the girls' - or the 'local women in small business' group. We meet up every month for coffee, cake and ideas swapping, putting the world to rights and advise offering, support etc - and ran a few ideas past them. I also showed them ideas for website templates, business card templates, logo etc I took a couple of sample 'cakes' and hamper mock-ups and came away with a barrow load of ideas, a decision on a name and whatnot. I then ran the whole thing by my church group (all of whom are in business too which is handy) who loved the idea except for Mr Grumpster who thinks that women should not work but we take no notice of his ideas of what women should do but we do listen to his business advice which is invariably sound.
Now we are making 'cakes', hampers and talking to anyone who stands still long enough. Test trading begins in earnest next week. I am just in the throes of making a nappy cake for a friend of mine who is adopting a baby, she collects her in 2 weeks (she's not counting the days off or anything). Her baby will be 6 months old on the 8th March so we are making a cake and getting some bits and bobs in a bigger size for her.
More tea is required before I do the second tier though.
Eh?
