About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 16
- Currently Home Based
- Yes
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Poodle skirts are popular for Halloween, Cotillion, Daddy Daughter dances, 50s days at school/work, school dances, dance competitions, and more. Customers love the quality of our skirts.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The majority of sales are through Etsy. The Etsy shop is not transferable so you'll need to start your own Etsy shop. I did that after I acquired the assets of the business in 2019 and it has worked well. I've never done any marketing (outside of Etsy's marketing) so that would be a good place to start!
Paper snack trays in 5 various 1950s cars designs are also included in the sale (in addition to the inventory) that can be sold as party supplies.
