Cottage Industry: Doll Makers
19 February 2010
Manufacturers of dolls realize that an entire cottage industry of doll makers exist selling their reborn and one of a kind works at local craft fairs, on their own websites and through eBay. If they watch market trends closely they’ll see the changes and variations of offerings and be able to change their own releases to meet the market demand. To you, the doll collector, this means that you would be able to find more offerings available for your needs.
In the meantime more and more doll makers enjoy their hobby as a small business an a source of income. Here are some helpful steps. Combine creating reborn dolls with a full line of accessories. It seems that many people are now shopping for the cribs and clothes for their reborns. Some even shopping for incubators and a nursery’s worth of furniture.
There are also items required for the kitchen for baby – such as bottles, wipes that smell like baby powder and won’t ruin the paint or finish on a reborn doll.
Manufacturers could easily make and supply any of these items. Some already do but since they are created for human babies there are so many safety precautions and material considerations to make – which make getting the product to you the consumer, less profitable.
Consider the costs of the Ashton-Drake doll where quality control is one of the top concerns. Even though these dolls are created on an assembly, not one is approved until it has passed an extremely rigorous quality control. This attention to perfection costs the company money – which is eventually passed onto the consumer.
