TIPS
• Use pieces of PVC pipe to ship your miniature creations. PVC comes in all different sizes, very inexpensive and is extremely sturdy. • Colored wool will fade in direct sunlight! So be sure to keep your needle felted sculptures and furred wool miniatures out of the harsh sunlight and away from a heat source. Preferably in a dust free display cabinet. |

CDHM MARKETING REVIEW -- JUNE 2007
Summer is a notoriously slow selling season for most businesses worldwide. This trend applies to the miniatures & doll makers world as well. Kids are out of school, families go on vacation, and the yard needs attention. So if everyone knows it's a slow season, why bother to push hard to get your name out to the public? Because in the fall, when you are ready to jump back into the selling mode, you will have to start all over again to get your name out to the buying public. If you haven't planned ahead, you may not be ready!
