I'm just thowing an idea out to get opinions, testing the water you might
say. A friend of mine who owns a laser engraving business mentioned an
idea to me. He asked if I might be interested in working with him to try
to market some of his products to the pet community in general, ferret
community too. He basically has a machine that can take any image, home
photos, etc., and etch it into any solid surface, in color if desired.
It's basically photo quality. Right now he is doing a lot with grave
markers for pets done in granite or marble. People can actually get a
small marker with an actual picture of their pet and the dates if
desired. I'm not trying to sell anything right now. I just wondered if
this would be something that would appeal to people. I know it is tough
to find ferret images, or at least more rare than cats and dogs, but the
laser imaging is a bit pricey. If there would be an interest, I might
try to set up some sort of wholesale deal with ferret shelters. I know a
lot of shelters do sell items to help support their shelter.
What do you think? Would there even be a market for such a thing? I
appreciate any opinions on the subject.
Thanks,
Holly,
