Caroleen’s Treasures

Only a few days had pass since I posted an ad in Davaosale and I am tremendously happy that I am getting good response. Well for me it is good since I am not expecting that people will find my ad or look for something like I sell. Cloth diapers and baby slings are pretty new here in the Philippines and the fact that only small portion of the population uses the internet, I have to have patience and the will to continue what I have started. I am actually close to giving up because of money issues. I need to have a good inventory because we are far from where I am getting the materials and this is preventing me from getting this little business in full swing. Also transportation is a problem but hey who told you these things will stop me? Who knows this will make us rich then I would ask Donald to check on the used rv for sale on one of the sites I have visited so we can do the shopping and deliveries much easier. He will really love that!

Sunday morning I was awakened with numbers of emails and text messages asking about my my items. That was a few hours after I posted the ad. I also asked Ate Bing if she can help me market my diapers and slings and she ended up ordering diapers as her Christmas gifts. Thanks Ate Bing! There is also a good friend of Ms. Alex Hao who have heard about it from Ms. Alex and found my ad at Davaosale. This morning the cellphone rang and I was anticipating it is Smart or Globe and I was surprised someone has called me about my diapers and baby sling. She bought 3 cloth diapers at the mall but she isn’t satisfied with the result. She said it doesn’t fit her baby well and the lady at the store told her it is doesn’t come in sizes because their diapers are free size. Upon inspecting, one diaper is larger so how come they don’t come in sizes? Those are imported from but I can’t recall the brand name. So I told her that my cloth diapers comes with a much absorbent soaker than what she bought. Of course I knew it because I have seen it myself and I am not going to lie about my product just so people will buy. I even told her not to order a certain fabric because it is not as good as my other fabric. LOL So this young mommy ordered a dozen cloth diapers and a baby sling that I need to get all done before she goes home to Comval to see her baby on Friday. I hope this will be the break I am wishing.
