How Your Own Reborn Doll Website Will Help You

Reborn Doll House — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:12:48 +0000

A website establishes your presence in today’s market place and puts you up there as a serious business. Your presence or personality will be on display for customers to review. Having your own website is like having your own store but the difference is you will be able to attract a worldwide customer base not just the local area.

When you decide to start your reborn doll website remember it is a marketing tool, the same as a shop front is. The purpose of your website is to sell your expertise as a reborn doll artist and in the process make money from your reborn doll talents. Many, many websites do not achieve this. They are more like fliers in cyber space! Do not make this mistake. Your website needs to be both a flier and a marketing tool.

A website acts as your virtual shop front, helping your target customers to locate you and build brand and product awareness that eventually helps in increasing sales.

A website helps you expand your market to the whole world and it works for you twenty-four hours a day. Imagine waking up in the morning and having received orders while you were asleep! That’s making money while you are asleep. Reborn doll collectors come from all over the world and only by having a presence on the Internet, can you possibly make contact with them.

By adding a payment gateway to your website you will be able to take orders from customers all over the world. By accepting credit cards, you could potentially increase your sales by as much as 30 to 100 percent. Your reborn doll website can easily be registered with PayPal (there’s no fee to register) and begin accepting all major credit cards and checks for as little as 2. 5 percent -2. 9 percent for each transaction.

When you have a website you also have a dedicated email address so your customers can get in touch and you can get in touch with them. You can use this email as a marketing tool in itself. Your market is very large. Do you realize that over 200,000 people Google ‘reborn dolls’ in a month. These are buyers and artists, both beginners and more experienced, looking for dolls and products. You could have a part of this market with a website.

An important aspect of a website is that you can display testimonials from satisfied customers. People out there may be wary of you but letting them see the endorsements of others like them who have been happy doing business with you, can turn skeptics into loyal customers.

If you have a reborn doll website it creates an image that is larger than life. There are many small and micro businesses that operate from home offices, garages and the like that would not impress customers if they were to visit. The advantages of working online are many and varied, for instance, being home for children, keeping costs low, only needing a small space and more. A well presented website helps you build a professional image and a perception that you are company able to cater to all the customers needs.

We hope this has been helpful for you if you are thinking about starting your own reborn doll website. We wish you all the luck in the world and are great admirers of the work reborn doll artists are doing.

Things to consider when buying a reborn doll

Reborn Doll House — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 01:15:23 +0000

Reborn dolls are a delight for many people and can be an exciting experience to the entire family. This is the main reason why these dolls are selling like hot cakes in all countries and gain more and more exposure by the day.

The price of the custom doll largely depends on the size and quality of the finished doll. Often a Berengeur doll is taken as the base shape and completely dismantled before being remade as life like as possible and this process is getting noticed by famous people as well as ordinary people.

The skill of the artist is another important factor when determining the price. If you want a custom doll made you should expect to pay more than you would for a generic reborn doll.

Different types and sizes of reborns are available from all over the world. Recently, many people have turned to filling the void in availability of ethnic reborn dolls. You can reborn dolls displaying various emotions including sleeping, smiling, crying and many more.

The main difference between the reborn babies and other dolls is their similarity with real babies. No one can easily find any difference in the appearance, size, open nostrils, fingers, nails, or eyes, between a lifelike doll and an original baby. Even weight of the baby is same to that of original baby. Usually, the dress of the dolls is right with the current trend with all baby outfits. There has even been cases where policeman have mistaken a reborn for the real thing.

For a more realistic appearance you can even get your reborn baby with a heart beat, breathing ability and body movements. Of course, these features bump up the price even more and a lot of newer artists wont touch such features until later on in their career. There is plenty to master in the reborn process without these advanced features.

When looking for a reborn doll, you should first consider what style of baby you are after - the sex, age and emotion certainly helps to narrow it down. After that, it is only a case of finding the right style of face before you buy.

I am an expert at making reborn dolls which includes making them and finding supplies. Premium reborn dolls can be more expensive but are also a lot better in quality.

5 Tips To Niches For Marketing Reborn Dolls

Reborn Doll House — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 01:12:40 +0000

Being a great reborn doll artist does not automatically mean you will sell your dolls to the market you are interested in or at the price your dolls deserve. Marketing skills are learnt and those that understand them are the ones that dominate. Choosing your niche is an important part of a successful marketing campaign.

A niche is a smaller part of a larger market. Dominating a niche is where your traffic and therefore your profit come from.

Before you try to dominate the whole reborn doll market, choose a niche, become the expert in that niche and move on.

Below are the 5 top niches we believe are great for reborn artists.

1. Ebay is the biggest selling site for reborn dolls but it is also the most difficult to dominate as there are over 700 reborn dolls being sold at any one time. If you can learn the rules and techniques needed to get yourself onto the first pages of ebay, you stand a good chance of becoming the reborn artists who is followed by a bidding war of interested customers every time you put up an auction.

2. A Website. Using your own dedicated website or someone else in your area of expertise is also a great way to get to an extremely large market in your niche. If you are going to use someone else’s website sell your dolls, make sure their website is on the first few pages of Google or other prominent search engines. Your buyers have limited time so will be attracted to the most professional websites.

3. The Ageing. Another local untapped market is the senior citizen market and in particular the dementia patients. Dolls have been used for Alzheimer’s patients for some time with differing degrees of success. Reborn dolls that resemble real babies have been used with great success to calm and give a purpose to Alzheimer’s patients. To tap into this growing market, start with your local nursing homes and talk to the administrators and staff. Most nursing homes and Alzheimer’s associations will not have the budget to buy reborn dolls for the patients but caring families may.

4. Grieving mothers, no matter what age, have found great comfort from holding a reborn doll. To reach this market, use the resources around you from the local churches, hospitals and counselors for grief. Have a look in your community to see what is available for grieving mothers and make an appointment with the centre. Take a sample of your reborn dolls along with as much evidence that you can gather on the beneficial effects these wonderful dolls have for the grieving.

5. Consignment. Selling on consignment is yet another option for the reborn artist. There are specialist doll stores that may not be able to pay upfront for your dolls but would be happy to take them on consignment. You will receive payment when the doll is sold. Do not stop with only doll stores. Look around your area or city to find other stores that could take your reborn dolls on consignment.

Marketing is a task that needs to be done to sell anything. Even Coca Cola has to continually update their advertising to stay in the forefront of the minds of thirsty consumers!

We wish you all the best with your reborn doll business and hope that these tips will see you develop your passion into a reality.

What are life like reborn dolls?

Reborn Doll House — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:15:35 +0000

Reborn dolls are typical dolls that have been dismantled. This involves taking off the limbs (arms, legs and head) and taking all the stuffing out of the body. A typical doll that is used are berenguer dolls which are considered ideal due to the faces and proportions they come in. Each limb is stripped of any factory conditioning such as paint, hair and unwanted plastic. They are then rebuilt by the artist who aims to get them to look as real as possible. There are many processes involved to do this and it can take quite a while to complete. While painting any of the limbs, it may involve adding multiple layers of paint or color, and additional styling on top for skin blemishes and veins. Of course, each of the limbs needs to be done in a similar style so it can take quite a lot of work to achieve this. The head also requires a lot of work other than painting since the eyelashes and hair must be added. While you can use a wig to do this, many consider microrooting mohair to look better and give more realistic results. Many artists sell their creations on ebay where there is a growing market for them. However, the price can vary considerably with some dolls fecthing up to $100 and others going well past the $2000 mark. If you are looking at buying a reborn doll then be sure to look at the pictures of the doll as well as the price! They are sometimes referred to by other names, although ultimatly it means the same. For example, 'living dolls', 'unliving dolls', 'reborn babies' or just simply 'reborns' are alternative names for them. The reborning process has been around for a few years but it is still quite new and always changing. As the popularity grows and more and more artists try it out, new methods are being refined which makes it quicker and easier. Since there is no definitive way to do it, many people have developed their own techniques from start to finish. This is good for the community since it means there are many, many different ways to get the same results. However, it also means spending quite a lot on varied art supplies and equipment in order to make a reborn. For example, brushes, paints, Qtips, mohair, and of course the doll you will be reborning are only just the start of what you require. They are not to everyones liking however and seem to split opinion from person to person. Some seem to find reborn dolls cute and adorable, whereas others find the thought of them weird and creepy. Each to their own really, but this has to be praise for the artists talents to get them looking so real.
