So..that got me thinking about what I would want to carry in our "Store" (which would be run out of our house to begin with). I have several brands that I have used and love and would probably try to carry those. But I think I'd want to do some of my favorite breastfeeding products as well -- like Milkies Milk-Saver, MoBoLeez nursing hats and Mommy Necklaces...
But then I was thinking about marketing and how I could get the word out about cloth diapers. A class at the Y? Church? WIC? Hospitals? Our local hospital doesn't deliver babies, so I'd have to contact ones within a 45 mile radius. I'd love to be able to do a "Diapering Decisions" class (if that's not copyrighted) as a prenatal class option, ya know? You take breastfeeding and baby safety. Why not do a class where you learn about the different diaper options? But how do you even go about trying to set something like that up?
Oh, and don't get me thinking about financing and all that stuff...
I know there's a lot that would go into this..but it sure would be fun, don't ya think?

When I wanted to teach a cooking class, I contacted the head of community education to create a class. They had me write up a description of the class, figure out what I would want to teach, how much it would cost people to take the class, etc and they printed it in the community newsletter bulletin thing that they send out twice a year. I didn't end up having anyone sign up, but it was easy enough to set up the class!
I stumbled across your blog through a friend of mine's blog, and I enjoy reading your posts. I am very new to cloth diapering, I am just trying it out now with a trial package. Do you have any tips? STarting a business sounds scary- good luck! If you want to check me and my 3 1/2 month old out, you can find me at: http://clopperhousehold.blogspot.com/
I would love to have comments!!!
