I watched your first video on this topic in late September 2019! I started my dog bandana business and it is now my full time job. I love watching you guys.. you’ve helped me so much
You’re such an inspiration for me. I’m watching this a year later Nov 2020 and I can imagine your money increase has increased even more but you can tell money hasn’t changed yall. Usually companies change when they get famous but You both still show a sweet, cheerful and kind personality. Love you guys.
These videos are so helpful! I'm in the beginning stages of starting a similar business with my best friend and it's very daunting! Loved your encouragement about starting small and how honest you guys are about the whole process! Thank you
wow,,,i learned that you are blessed because you are a blessing to others, you guys are not one bit greedy , not many people will share their success secrets, thank you i appreciate both of you ,,,many more years of blessings to you both and your business , thank you for being kind xo
I have my first craft fair tomorrow for my bananas! You guys have been a huge inspiration. Thank you for sharing such valuable information! Im keeping my expectations low and trying not to compare 😅 hopefully I can be successful in my first year!
Love you videos. I sell dog related products but currently only sell at local shows. I found that's what I like best. I like the interaction with other dog lovers. Since covid 19 I'm thinking about going on-line. I've been watching your videos for inspiration.
Thank you your video was very helpful. Question where do you get your logo or name tags on your product, how do you make one. I sew dog coats and dog bandanas but haven't received any interest in them. I have even lowered my prices.
This is so personal thank you for sharing I hope I can take a few notes I’m wanting to start a business soon! Congratulations!! Can y’all do a video on the paperwork you needed to get it started like business license and such and how you knew when to get that?
Something that I have learned is that you honestly can't please everyone, which is hard for me! Another thing is if you keep working hard enough and really put yourself out there, it'll all come together.
I’ve been thinking about starting a bandana business and randomly came across this video as I’m brainstorming. Thank u for the tips! I hope I’m here a here from now! 🙏🏽
This is so inspirational! Congratulations guys! May God bless your business and grow your business. I just looked at your website, the bandanas are so cute.
How do you price your dog bandanas that are not personalised, their over the collar bandanas to start your business? And is purchasing a cricket machine worth buying to make personalised bandanas? Thank you from Australia
Loved this and learned sooo much. Liked how to start off with little money, buying one yard at a time! And how you got started, seeing your friends Cricut machine! I know this was a year ago but still so helpful.👍thanks so much🥰
Just want to first say you guys are amazing and how helpful you have been for me starting my own business! Would love to see how you run effective marketing with Insta and FB- kinda the spot I'm stuck on!! Excited to see your new office space when you get moved in!
Where do you purchase fabric from? Do you get any wholesale or do you just use various fabric stores? Thank you for sharing & wishing you all the very best!!
Starting my business for pet products as well!! I am having trouble with sizing haha!!! I’m having trouble with keeping things simple but I realize I need to cut back and keep it small 😆
Could you possibly show how you pack to ship the bandanas.i heard you say some of them you didn’t fold. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. You guys rock Thanks Faye
Aw you guys are the best thing that's happened to me. I have some ideas for where I live in South Africa🇿🇦 and I'm buzzing. Thanks so much for your amazing and valuable advice. ❤️
Congratulations on your success. Jus started watching some of your videos. I’m thinking of starting a business to take into my yet achieved retirement. I don’t know if you are still using your wood templates and I don’t know what the cost would be, but you may want to call “Accuquilt” and ask them what the cost would be to make your templates for the bandanas thru a die cutter--their website is accuquilt.com. This way if you wanted to cut out more at one time your investment would be your personal dies and the “studio 2” cutter. I’m a quilter/machine embroider” individual. Just thought I would share. Again, I think and thank you for sharing such honest guidance. My hat is off to you. Continued success to you both. Thankyou.
We would love to see another Q and A My question is do you think showing your face on social media helped your business? And does having a youtube channel help your business?. I'd also love to see a video about pinterest about how you use it for your business and marketing your business
We do not. If you have time to do that, it would allow the customer an easier way to wash their bandanas... but we have SO much fabric that we just don't have time to do that. We tell our customers to handwash their bandanas.
Something I learned from watching this video was!: how you make your profit but then putting the money back into the company rather then just saving it, the snowball effect you mentioned!! Love it! I love watching y’all a journey through everything, and I’m excited to see where your company takes you! Best wishes always IG: tiiaannnnuuhh All liked, followed, and subscribed!!
I learned about recycling the look of your site, so it’s refreshing. It easier to look for things and there’s no out of season stuff. IG: ourrescuedtales
Hey guys! I found just this channel about a week ago and have binged watched so many of your videos and learned so much! I work as a corporate chef and dietitian but I also make homemade dog treats called Shaggy Snacks. It started the same as you, just making treats for my pup and things grew from there. Now we have 4 dogs so we are always making treats! I think the most interesting thing I learned is how much marketing and advertising does help influence purchases. Looking forward to a great year! Thank you for your insight! I hope y’all have a wonderful year and reach all your goals! IG: chefcatsshaggysnacks Catsmeow2008

You can always sell your fabric that doesn’t do well in lots on your site.. just a thought..
This is so personal thank you for sharing I hope I can take a few notes I’m wanting to start a business soon! Congratulations!! Can y’all do a video on the paperwork you needed to get it started like business license and such and how you knew when to get that?

So, did you get your business license before or after you started selling? I am really enjoying you videos.
I just googled your business. And holy crap you’re business is located near the kroger pharmacy I used to work at on Whitlock!!!
Aw you guys are the best thing that's happened to me. I have some ideas for where I live in South Africa🇿🇦 and I'm buzzing. Thanks so much for your amazing and valuable advice. ❤️
I love the idea of a video on how you create an ad!
You guys live in Marietta. I live in Austell. Small world.

How did you learn to sew?
Did you ever do an advertising vid? I sure could use some advice as my biz is failing!!!
Do one on marketing
Do you feel having your UA-cam channel has helped you with your business?
yes, a video about doing your ads would be great
How did you guys get your business license ?!
Each state is different. I would suggest looking into all of your states requirements
so encourage your video thanks for sharing your life on pet bussines
We would love to see another Q and A
My question is do you think showing your face on social media helped your business? And does having a youtube channel help your business?. I'd also love to see a video about pinterest about how you use it for your business and marketing your business
Yes, we think both help grow our business :) I would love to make a video on Pinterest !
@@DaniBrouse thank you for answering ❤😁
Do you wash your fabric before you sew them?
We do not. If you have time to do that, it would allow the customer an easier way to wash their bandanas... but we have SO much fabric that we just don't have time to do that. We tell our customers to handwash their bandanas.
How do you guys make the dog toys?
We don't
Thanks for sharing!!

Etsy doesn’t ONLY take out money when we sell
They take a monthly fee per item, then when item sold they take some more.
😂
Great tips here!
