Funny you should say that, I've been making and selling them... Also as jean
beltloop charm dangleys. They are base metal, called lanyard clasps, and you can get them as cheaply from Office Max as anywhere. I just got a bunch from JoAnns because all their jewelry items were 40% off. I figure 40 cents per dozen is as reasonable as anything, and there's no shipping charges involved. I'm sure you could find more expensive ones, or even go for keychain clasps, but for my own purpose, I found that trendy back-to-school items need to be less expensive to sell well, and if I can sell a quantity of less expensive things, I can fund my more expensive projects with the proceeds - and have the side benefit of getting my name out to the moms. Does that help? Christy "KDK" wrote in message m...

LOL! Are they the metal lanyard-hook type gadgets, shaped like a pear,
that open when you push on the cut side, and close as soon as you release the pressure? Deirdre On Fri, 29 Aug 2003 19:46:27 GMT, "Tink" wrote: I believe the official name of them is "zipper pull thingies". |

This is the kind of thing I'm hoping to be able to master as a
marketing strategy ... Deirdre On Fri, 29 Aug 2003 15:51:09 -0400, "CLP" wrote: and if I can sell a quantity of less expensive things, I can fund my more expensive projects with the proceeds - |

Yes, well, when I can make a dozen of something in an hour from maybe $3.00
of material (ribbons, beads, charms), sell them for $4.00 each (2.50 if I wholesale them), which makes them very low end for anyone's impulse buy, it's a minimum profit of $27 per hour, max $45 per hour. It's not financially as good as doing freelance technical writing, but a lot more gratifying! Obviously I can't sell 40 dozen in a week and look at it as a 40 hr job, because I don't have those contacts, but you get the gist. I feel that as long as I'm making something unique, that's better than what someone can get at Target, I'm not compromised at all. Everything can't be precious metal and gems!
