New Year, New Hiney!

 

Happy 2015 Hiney Fans! 

I can't believe how fast last year flew by, and I'm sure at the end of this year I'll be saying the same thing! So much is in store for my little TH shop, I can't wait to share everything with you!

First thing first, I'll slowly be upgrading the TH branding. New logos to match the seasons and holidays, new business card design, and new packaging for orders! I love using Maria at Stye Graphic Design on Etsy. I first found her to make my original logo/watermark/etc and when I had this re-vamp idea she was great!

Here's my current logo ... 

And here's my NEW logos for Winter and Valentines! 

I love them! It'll allow me to customize my branding so much more. I think the only thing I won't be using these for at the clothing labels. Too much to keep track and make sure I sew the right one on. Plus I have another idea for those ... But I'll get back to that! 

This year also bring more "loads" or pre-sales (whichever you like to call them). I'm getting more into the "designing" part of making clothes. I love finding new fabric lines and creating collections for them. Last year I pre-ordered a TON of new lines coming out; from Michael Miller, to Camelot, to Kokka! They look absolutely stunning on the computer screen so I'm sure I'll be dieing when I get them in hand.

These collections will all be OOAK (one of a kind) I'll make a sample, load the pictures with all the details, and only have a few spots open to purchase the design. I'm pretty sure for the majority of them I will also never re-make an item or collection. And to make these pretties stand out even more they are going to have a "Special Collection" label! First collection will be Valentines and Football themed, since those are the next BIG dates coming up! 

Along with all the cosmetic changes going on, there are the usual business ones. Stay organized, up to date with trends, and making sure I'm keep cost low and prices affordable. I put a simple price catalog on my facebook page. It at a minimum explains the embroidery/applique prices. But since the rest of my business is all custom, there's not much info I can give without knowing all the details. Remember if you every want to know the price or any other information on something, don't hesitate to ask! I'm away here to help and answer questions!

Alrighty, back to the cleaning and organizing! Need to be ready for our first sale this week! 

Be sure to like us on Facebook and Etsy, and follow me on Instagram (@tinyhineybusiness) to stay up to date on all the latest TH happenings!
