Designer wipes, interest?

[katedanzer]

I found a bunch of Michael Miller crafters flannel prints at my local fabric store

I'd love to buy bolts of all the yummy prints, but I can't charge my currently flannel pricing or I'd loose money. Is there interest in designer flannels if they cost a little more (I figured it would be .25 more per wipe) Or do people want flannel for the cost (i.e. cheaper wipes)? Do you think 2-tier pricing would be confusing? (regular flannel prints and designer flannel prints)

These were some prints I recognized, but they had more

I think your wipes are already so awesome, and affordable that it would be cool to be able to get a few of the popular printed wipes to match other baby/diaper items. I dont think that extra cost is that big of a deal.

I would pay more considering MM's fabric is higher quality to begin with, plus I love their wipes (but I'm not currently in the market, so take it FWIW )

For my mm prints I charge the same price as my regular flannel on wipes

That's what I was afraid of, since my wipes are already priced low I don't know if I have the customer base. If I sold wipes are my current pricing, I'd loose .05 per wipe selling designer flannel print wipes that are twice the material cost of snuggle prints

I'd do 2 tier pricing and would love MM fabric wipes!

I think enough people would love the designer prints. For what it's worth I see a lot of people saying they love your wipes. I would bet they would love to get the higher quality, designer wipes.

This is a great suggestion!

Personally, I'm not sure if I would pay more for designer fabric wipes vs regular...but if I LOVED the prints I probably would

I do know that after one baby, the "snuggle" flannel wipes I made are looking somewhat thin; for people who want a more durable flannel option that will last more than one baby, this may be the way go. I think it would be worthwhile to point this out in your descriptions of wipes made using designer flannel

What about taking pre-orders, then buying however much flannel you need? If pre-ordering isn't too risky of a venture, it may give you an idea of how much interest exists.

I'm usually an economical shopper and go for the cheaper option, but if I loved a print, I would splurge on a couple, as long as the price was reasonable (like you mentioned $.25 extra per wipe).

FWIW, I made some wipes in the MM Dino Dudes flannel and they still look/feel almost new after a couple months of washing. I've been very impressed with the quality!

I'd do two tier pricing. I wouldn't mind spending a bit more for higher quality fabrics.
