Market research for my business...opinions appreciated!

[Chel]

I'm starting up a small business for various baby products and I'd feeling like I'm a bit aimless, so I thought I'd just post a few questions, just to get a little feel for the market.

Thank you so much, even if you just answer one or two questions, I'd really appreciate it.

Whats most important for you when buying for bub? Price, aesthetics, quality etc.

What would you most likely buy for bub if it was handmade (in order would be great) baby sling, cloth nappies, muslin wraps, padded playmat, nappy bag, blankets&quilts, sheets &covers, knitted clothing.

Would you see something being handmade as being an advantage or disadantage to the products appeal? Would it be more appealing if it was made using organic/sustainable materials, such as bamboo or hemp, even if that made it more expensive than generic materials?

What colours/patterns would appeal to you the most on something like a sling/nappy bag? neutral/beige tones, girly pinks, floral, bright and bold patterns, natural greens & browns, black, or block colours?

Thanks! If i think of anymore I'll add them later (jasper just woke crying and its hard tping with one hand holding him!)

Whats most important for you when buying for bub? something safe that won't break the bank

What would you most likely buy for bub if it was handmade (in order would be great) baby sling, cloth nappies, muslin wraps, padded playmat, nappy bag,

Would you see something being handmade as being an advantage or disadantage to the products appeal? Would it be more appealing if it was made using organic/sustainable materials, such as bamboo or hemp, even if that made it more expensive than generic materials? I wouldn't mind, so long as it looked good and did the job. Probably wouldn't spend more on an organic product

What colours/patterns would appeal to you the most on something like a sling/nappy bag? Something funky and bright, but would also like naturals available
