Wife's Ebay store--need some help in getting the word out
With me being laid off and not getting any offers, I was hoping that my Pelican friends could help me spread the word about the Ebay store my wife and my sister have. I checked the rules and I don't believe this violates any of them. If I'm wrong, please speak up ASAP. Thanks.
This hobby started a couple of years ago with my wife and my sister just having fun. My sister runs the website, handling orders, and dealing with the special requests and conveying those to my wife, who creates the outfits. The outfits have been increasing in demand locally as well as across the world through the Ebay store. A local store is even creating an entire rack just for my wife's creations. I'm just still amazed at the response to this clothing. A cool story-An immigrant was being sworn in last week and his wife ordered a special USA styled outfit for their daughter to wear at the ceremony. From what I understand, they were very happy. We don't for a minute believe that this enterprise will be our golden ticket, so to speak, but with the economy and the job prospects here in Michigan not being very good, I thought we should try to market them to more folks. All I ask of you is too please pass along the word about the busines to friends and family. It's probably going to appeal mostly to the women folk but, hey we'll take anyone that wants a custom outfit. Here is the Ebay store site: If you have any questions about the outfits, please go to the site. Comments and suggestions for me can be directed to me. Thanks for your help. BTW--I have stayed out of their business unless I am asked for an opinion. I know that if i were to become involved, I would micro-manage it. (Not good.)

How many times has Shaun tried to make a go at clothing mfg...and right outa the box comes OhHAHA's wife...that is the way it works...
One of a kind designer clothing...niche marketing... At some point a major mass marketer...like Wallmart, Target or Karmart might pick up the designs and pay a loyalty for each one produced or sold. Maybe your wifes success is that it is a creative endevor vs a commericial one for Shaun.
