As some of you know, I have a little Etsy shop and an eBay store where I sell fabric and Aurifil thread to help me meet the expenses of life. Moda has just started making Mini Charm Packs that are 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".
I ordered some of these cute little Mini Charms in 3 brand new collections ~ Ticklish has just come out and Indigo Crossing and Audra's Iris Garden are coming out in just a few days.
Here is what I would like to know ~ how do I market these little cuties? One at a time? In groups? With a 5" Charm Pack? How would you most likely purchase these Minis? And just so you know, to help with your decision, the Minis are retailing for $4.00 each.
If you will leave me a comment ~ WITH ADVISE for marketing, I will give these 3 Minis away on January 13th, when Indigo Crossing and Audra's Iris Garden come on the market!!
Thank you all, I know I will get my answer!! Now, remember, it is how you would most likely purchase these little guys!! :-)

When I bought mine, I bought them as a set with a charm pack, and as a set of 4 different mini charm packs. I liked both ways - but would also like the option of buying one seperately, in case I need more than one mini charm of the same line. Just my two cents :)
I think that having choices would be the best way... Tiffany suggested three ways that I would want to make my purchases too!!
I already gave you my opinion, but I'll do it again here to preserve it for posterity (or because you are having a giveaway--I can't decide which). I have purchased 3 mini charm packs already, and I have purchased them individually, without any charm packs. I would like the option of getting more than one of the same kind, two different ones, or just getting one (hey, that one you gifted me made a great little mini quilt!). There you have it. : )
I keep looking at them but cannot decide how I would use them unless I bought a boatload.
I would do them separately.
More choice is better, so yes, yes, and yes!
I would probably market them one at a time so that people could mix and match them if they wanted. But maybe in your description you could show squares that you pieced together into a simple little quilt top using two of the mini charms giving measurements, etc. from different lines to entice people to buy more than one. When I bought mine I bought sets of two. I think that samples and ideas on how to use things help sell. Oh....and I'm not even close to a professional!
I didn't realise you had an etsy and ebay shop!!
I'd prefer to buy several mini charms at once - not necessarily with matching 5" charms or yardage
I would most likely purchase them with a quilt pattern that suggested a way to use them...sort of like a kit, but not necessarily.
I would sell them separately so they're available for any use someone wants to put them too. I would probably really prefer to buy a 5-inch square charm pack and cut them up into these smaller sizes if I needed a smaller size because buying the larger charm pack would be cheaper in the long run (but that wasn't your question, haha...). Thanks for the opportunity to win these little packs. I could use them in my postage stamp quilt.
HI! I'D SELL THEM INDIVIDUALLY.oNE CAN ALWAYS BUY THE MATCHING CHARM PACK IF NEEDED FOR YOUR PATTERN!
THANKS FOR SHARING!

I love the charm packs. I would sell them separately. To advertise them I would make a pattern for a mini quilt, table runner, or something small because there is not a lot in the packs.
I think separately would be the way to go. You could also let people know they are perfect for 1" hexies -no wastage of fabric
I like to buy them individually but in multiples, and when I bought some for me, I got another for a friend, they are great for gift giving. I like the idea of using them for mini quilts.

I think what ever way you choose you can't go wrong. But I have typically found these in 3 to a package. Afterall, you can never just have one little treat at a time.

I would sale them individually.
I would offer them individually and as a pack of 3. It s nice to have choices.
Nice to have choices and to have examples of how to use them. The hexie use is good. I didn't realise you had an etsy store either( not that I know how to buy from one sad aren't I) Love Indigo crossing.
My preference would be either individually or 2 together. If there were some way to have a 'pick 2' or 'pick 3' option, that would be fun also.
I would offer them individually.
I really lilke making mini-quilts.
Thanks for the chance to win!

So many of us are planning to make scrap quilts with 2 1/2 inch squares this year! We are all talking about Scrap Vomit quilts, and Many Trips Around the World quilts, both which use 2 1/2 inch squares. Why not try a "3 for" price, with 3 different mini-charm sets included?
I like the minis -- but I shied away from them until I saw some projects that went together using them. That's how I'd market them. With pictures or links to projects that they use! :)
I would say sell them individually. You could then decide to mix and match or buy multiples.
I would like to buy them individually, but with the option of getting more than one of the same range, I am making a stitchery Quilt at the moment that has 2 1/2inch squares around the blocks, these would be perfect for this.Cheers R.
I would buy them for scrap quilts that aren't scrappy looking if you know what I mean. I have started making scrappy quilts that call for the size and rather than cut cut cut it's all there ready for you and you'd get beautiful quilts.
