The product I am going to focus on is a line of custom jumper ear nets (for horses) and the business is real! I started it up in August 2008 and have since sold over 120 ear nets. They are sold in a local tack shop (horse equipment store) that I work at and I also have a website that I created using a free site builder. At the time, I wasn't sure how well sales were going to be so I opted for the free website! www.akdesigns.weebly.com
Since sales have been better than expected, I am going to get a real website with a real domain name. I plan on making the website myself as I do web design, along with making the ear nets. I purchase the ear nets in bulk from overseas and then I order the colored cord trimming from various stores online. I sew all the cord on by hand, and one ear net with two trims takes me about 45 minutes. My current project with the ear nets it to make 35 of them by the end of December! They are going to be Christmas gifts for riders at a farm and their farm colors are hunter, burgundy, and old gold. (See photo above)
