Weigh in on line expansion


We're getting ready to replenish our inventory (and yes, we're very excited that we are running low!) so we thought we would take this opportunity to expand our line somewhat. We're adding bright colors to the "Brainy Beanies" (instead of the white cotton fabric) which I think will make them really pop! As for our baby tees, we have received some interest in larger sizes, so we were contemplating adding 2T to the line. But as always, I second-guess everything, so I'm wondering if we should go in a different direction. This is where you come in. If you could cast a vote, which would you choose:
  • Adding a bigger size - 2T
  • Offering long sleeve - for the winter
  • Going organic - offering a 100% Organic Cotton option

Thanks in advance - I appreciate your help! I usually poll friends through e-mail, but I thought you all would be a good audience. Even you lurkers, let your voice be heard!

Has anyone asked for long sleeve tees? If not, I would vote for adding 2T. If people have asked, that's what the people want. :)

Heck, what do I know, though. :)

I'd definitely go for the 2Ts Sue... I think the messages on the shirts all apply so well to toddlers too -- coloring outside the lines, etc.

I actually wanted to get the "Coloring outside the lines" Tshirt for Ryan..but he wears a 3T...I was actually kinda disappointed it's just for smaller babies. LOL So I think adding bigger sizes would be a bonus. As for the long sleeves...I wouldn't bother unless it's in the bigger sizes. Babies usually don't need the long sleeves. And 100% cotton would be a bonus too. Though it doesn't matter too much to me (I don't specifically look for it) I know many people that do prefer it.

My first thought would be the bigger size. I also understand there is a market for organic, but I assume the cost difference would be considerable.

In my neck of the woods, long sleeves don't get used very often.
