Saturday, November 7th, 2009Store Idea My friend Wes and I are considering opening up a store at the new
Storenvy (if you haven't had a chance to shop or browse, you should). The name of our store is "Cuter Than Your Baby."
We want to sell baby onesies with "clever" sayings on them. Sayings that make you do a double take and ask yourself, "did I just read
that on
that baby's onesie?"
We have a couple of startup onesies to get the store started, but I'm trying to see who would want some "clever" clothes for their babies.
Are parents tired of having the typical "Daddy's Rookie" or the picture of a panda on their child's clothes?
What "clever" saying would you want your baby to wear?
Are you interested in something like this or do you know anybody who is?
So, please weigh in, we'd love to hear from you!
For little girls the sayings are usually too sassy, shallow or sexy. Such as: "Does this diaper make my butt look big?" or "Drama queen". That is not clever to me or cute. I have even seen one that said "My milkshake brings all the boys to the play-yard" NOT COOL. I do not want my baby girl expressing an attitude or sexuality.
The onesies are usually way to EXPENSIVE. I realize that it costs to make them, ship them and you need to make a profit. But charging someone $25 for a clever onesie is too much. I can buy a pack at wal-mart and print something clever off my computer and iron it on.
But I am a huge fan of clever and geeky sayings on kid's clothes and if you find the right balance, I may just be your first customer. I would also recommend that you make them in multiple colors, I am one to buy the same shirt in more than one color.
Sorry for rambling on, I think it is a good idea and I hope some of this helped.

that's as clever as we got. Oh, and one that said something like, "if it's too loud, you're too old."
We're past onesies, though...
I like K8's geek shirt idea too.
I bought one for a friend that said, "Party at my crib at 3am"
Is "I'm Sofa King Cute" stepping over the line?
But lots of folks dig the onesies with text on them.
