A Couple of Our First Products

Do you remember your first products?

What did you make, do or sell as your first venture into business and entrepreneurship?

Here are a couple of our first actual products from our first business many years ago;

This cute little critter was designed to sit on the corner of a door or window. We sold a lot of these - mainly as kits the customer would complete. They got the ruff cut bear, a little piece of sandpaper, an art template trace, and basic instructions in a sealed bag.

The very first order was for an art therapy provider and family member who had asked me if we could come up with something for her.

I said sure - but there was just one catch.

Her business would only buy from another actual business and not just an individual. So that resulted in me getting us our first ever business license and our first of many large orders.

We developed more products - here is our second design:

It also was designed to sit on a window or door frame, or on a shelf.

Just like the bear, the cat was sold to lots of people over a few years. How old are these pics? Just a few days ago ; )

How old are the products? 30+ years and counting. They have been with us through our travels in life for a long time and now sit above the entrance to our bathroom door - one on each side.

We added all kinds of other things and designs and later we made and sold soap, candles, crates, and many other things. But these were the very first actual physical products we ever created as a business.

How about you?

Have you made (or do you make) any physical products to sell?

How about digital products or any other products or services?

Share your pics and your stories below - and have a great day!
