Description:
Similar to Build-A-Bear,
Create-A-Bear would target children of all ages. It would be a storefront where children could come in and stuff and dress their very own animal to take home. I would like to have a website where the new animal could come to life in a virtual world, similar to the webkinz concept. Aside from being a store front there would be a party room where birthday parties could take place. That would target many parents as well because the competition is very minimal in this area. Last year I started to build my own Create-A-Bear business, but one where I went to people's homes. Parents absolutely loved it, but it got to be too much of a burden to carry the heavy supplies. My profit more than doubled. The company I used was comparable in quality to Build-A-Bear.
