Spaces for Ideas: New Additions to the Family! - Design Sojourn

By A Mystery Man Writer

Description

When I started developing the Expandable Sketchbook it was meant as a fun personal design exercise that was an outlet for my passion for sketchbooks and design. What I did not expect was the out pouring of voices of support! I think I might have uncovered an unmet niche that Design could make a difference in the lives of people, in this case, people using sketchbooks. On that note I would like to thank all my loyal and passionate friends that supported this entrepreneurial effort by either purchasing the Expandable Sketchbooks and/or giving me detailed feedback on how I can design it better. During the 2 week pre-order sale, I manage to sell just under 60 sketchbooks and a bunch more after that. At first I was a little disheartened as I did have a minimum order quantity of a 1000 sketchbooks to clear. But after speaking to a few internet entrepreneurs, the number of sketchbooks that I sold was not too bad for a first go. So all in all, I became quite encouraged by this small start.
