3 Stages of Product Packaging & Businesses

The last time we spoke about business, I went over what you need to do and to have in order to sell your product to retail.  If we back up a step, I thought we could talk about how to package a product when you want to sell it to the market. This will combine my MBA education on entrepreneurship and my own experiences. I feel like so many of us are trying to sell something- maybe it's not a wood stain that you're selling to businesses all over the US, but then, maybe it is. Or maybe it's an Etsy biz that sells all over the world, right?

OK, so now that we've established that my readers are some seriously amazing #fementrepreneurs, let's get back to packaging. When I look back at my packaging journey, if I could say that melodramatically,  "My Packaging Journey" I would say it's very similar to selling a product in general.

Clay Succulent Planters

Hello dear friends! We've spent this month in LA and man oh man is SoCal amazing in January- especially compared to Utah! lol I know many of us are friends on social so we already keep in touch, but we have been working on my Weatherwood business like crazy! I want to tell you my great business update buy I'm sworn to secrecy for a few more months. I can hint though! There's a super, duper famous, A list actor and he's doing his new Malibu house with Weatherwood! *Gasp *Scream Obviously Zack and I grabbed hands and jumped up and down like teenagers. This is even funnier if you'd net Zack in real life- being over 6 foot and a former Marine!

Faux Bois *Love* Drop Cloth Pillow

Pillows are a girls best friend! It's not diamonds. Who ever thought that up? Those splendid, delicate, soft, clouds of glory catch me every time I need them too. Think I'm wrong? Think again. When a girl feels sad, she cries on her pillow. When a girl is happy, she plops down on a pillow. When a girl is angry, she buries her face in her pillow and screams at the tippy-top of her lungs. When a girl is confessing her true feelings, she's laying on a pillow. We even we have our own kiddos. Where do you put your them? That's right, on a pillow. We ladies use pillows for everything. Not even sure why they put a diamond in the center of a ring. It should be a piece of fabric from you favorite P-O-Double L---OMG-W. Am I right, or am I right?
