Who is Designer Cloth Diapers?

Designer Cloth Diapers is a cloth diaper store where you find fun, affordable and stylish options for modern cloth diapering. Customers are encouraged to ask questions. We want our customers to be successful.

What do you sell?

We sell many of the top cloth diaper brands and accessories in designer prints. We are always looking for products that make cloth diapering convenient and fun while still being affordable.

Why did you decide to start a business?

Designer Cloth Diapers started with a desire to have a cloth diaper store that was different from the rest. We wanted cloth diapering families to find all the great prints all in one place. Babies grow up so fast, why not enjoy it with fun diapering and accessory choices!

How did you get started?

We started with our own brand “Komfy Kidz” and added some of our favorites. After cloth diapering 3 kids and soon to be 4, we have found things that we think make it a convenient system. We hope to share these products with our customers.

What would you have done differently in the beginning?

There may be things I would do differently, but mostly it has been a learning experience and I wouldn’t have learned so much without experiencing it.

What advice would you offer to someone just getting started?

Research your products, and your competition.. Be confident in your product or store and let others know about it. Get the word out locally as well as online. Make a plan, work hard and be patient. Find a great web designer like Cicily and you will be many steps closer to a successful business!

Who is Baby Eco Trends?

Baby Eco Trends is a natural parenting, natural lifestyle store with a focus on organic and fair trade products.

What do you sell?

We sell items that are safe and pure, things that parents can feel good about using. We have selected toys, cloth diapers, clothing, furniture, skin care and much more that meet our safety requirements and are earth friendly. We believe it is important to minimize our carbon footprint while supporting our economy. Therefore, we feature many USA made products. We sell only what we are willing to use in our own household.

Why did you decide to start a business?

Baby Eco Trends started because we were frustrated with the difficulty in finding not just cloth diapers, but ones made of 100% natural fibers. We also hoped to find diapers that were organic and fair trade. We found a fitted diaper here and a wool cover there and wondered why we couldn’t buy all we needed in one place. So we set out to do just that.

How did you get started?

We started by talking to friends and family, other parents that were interested in natural parenting and developing a profile of our target customer. We did lots of research and asked a lot of questions. Most importantly, we started by focusing on our own values and basing our business on our beliefs.

What would you have done differently in the beginning?

If I could turn back time, I would hold off on stocking too much inventory, I would negotiate with my suppliers to reduce order minimums and in general, I would budget more conservatively.

What advice would you offer to someone just getting started?

Do your homework, shop your competition, develop a network, establish relationships with reliable and reputable suppliers. Make sure you work with a web designer that has a strong work ethic and understands your vision. Cicily has been a lifesaver in this respect! Lastly, follow your passion and do what you love and believe in.
