Lauren hired a seamstress to sew sheep-shaped pillows. Then, she stuffed them herself. The trade show buyers put pillows on display in their shops, and within days they all sold for between $18.00 and $22.00 each.
Encouraged by these results, Lauren sent samples to department stores and specialty shops. Orders started rolling in. To sew pillows, she enlisted small home business sewers. It was hard work to deliver bolts of fabric and 40 pound bags of filling to their homes. Within first year, she grossed over half a million dollars.
Now, Lauren's Herbal Animals can be found in over 750 body care, gift and natural living shops worldwide. Lauren's company employs 13 people and has revenue of over a million dollars a year.
It's interesting to note that Lauren Rosenstadt didn't start out as a hobby seamstress or craft person. She was a person who used her insight to help a friend confort her daughter. After recognizing an opportunity, Lauren didn't let up. She did thinking and work necessary to achieve success.
