Joe Moody’s Web Adventures

If you already offer a product, look at the parts that make up the product. Do you have a nice supply of it, and would others be interested? Here’s an example.

A cool gift site I use for little nieces and nephews entering the world is the TowelHoodies.com Hooded Towel website where you can customize a hooded bath towel for a baby boy or girl. It’s a unique gift used for years as baby becomes a toddler. There’s also child’s Hooded Towels.

Towelhoodies lets you select your own Jacquard Ribbon to match a certain style, and you can have the baby’s name embroidered on the hooded towel for a personalized bath and beach towel.

But enough about the hooded towels, what’s cool about this website — and a good example for other entrepreneurs looking to grow in any economy — is they know how to diversify. They already offer custom Jacquard Ribbon and niche baby ribbon for inclusion on their hooded towels, but now they’ve opened a new wing of their website where they are selling just the Jacquard ribbon by the yard, for others who work with ribbon to take advantage of their well-edited selection.

Check out their Jacquard ribbon Store, and their main hooded towels website.

Food for thought in tough times.
