I'd like some opinions on a business idea that I've been turning over in my
head. Since most of you are naturally-minded parents, I figured this would be a
good place to start.
When I was pregnant with Ahmet, I had to go to the states to get the supplies I
"needed" to be the kind of parent I wanted to be--cloth diapers, sling,
parenting books, etc. Even now, I find it hard to get the kinds of toys and
clothes and whatnot that I wouldn't think twice about in the US. I've been
turning over the idea of a natural parenting store (web-based), but have doubts
about how well it would work in Turkiye. Ideally, I'd like to be able to
provide products for a range of ages, from newborn to school-age and maybe
beyond. Things like baby carriers (slings, wraps, mei-teis, etc), cloth diapers
of all varieties, natural organic baby care products, and wooden toys are the
products that immediately spring to mind.
Obviously I'd have to import these products and I haven't even thought about
looking into that yet, but am wondering if there would be enough interest to
warrent it, even on a small scale. Thoughts? Comments?
