My business partner and I started Snow in Seconds (http://snowinseconds.com http://snowinseconds.com) on the side, 6 years ago. It is a powder thats been around for decades (used in diapers) but when you get it at just the right grain size it looks, and feels like snow when water is added. We found a good source, designed a professional looking brand, made a TV spot (kinda), bought some search ads, and boom, predictable income.
Sales are online only (have not pursued wholesale yet) and is enough to live off of if all else fails. After 6 years we are have about $600K in total sales.
- anishkothari 12y agoWow, congratulations! This would be great around Christmas time in parts of the world where it doesn't snow - S/SE Asia in particular where people have a surprising fondness for Christmas.
- dusing 12y agoYup, most of our orders are from the South (in the US) and Australia for international.
- malchow 12y agoIf you're willing to give us a range, what's your COGS on the snow? Great animated GIF on the home page!
- dusing 12y agoMargins are good. PPC Advertising cost more than the snow on most orders.
- zizzer 12y agoYou might want to edit your login page (http://snowinseconds.com/account/login http://snowinseconds.com/account/login) it still has some Lorem ipsum on it!
- dusing 12y agoFixed. Thank you!
