Market Research: Color Preference Results.

Thanks so much to any of you who contributed your two cents on my preference questions last week regarding your coat color and your favorite colors for winter accessories!  I received a wealth of information via blog and twitter comments and I'd like to share the results with you:

* Other colors mentioned for scarves singularly: metallic, bronze, gold, turquoise, shades of blue, print, all bright colors.

Analysis: I've noticed that there are clear "popular" colors.  This is where I will invest most of my time and concentration, but, I've been thinking that this does not mean I should ignore those single entry colors either.

As artists we have to remember that what differentiates us from a big box store is they generally sell only what is popular amongst the masses.  We have the ability to personalize our work and sell to just one person.  So I'll go ahead and offer up my work in orange and purple because you know what?  Someone just might want to be different from the rest and I want to both encourage them and be the one to give them the option.

As a bit of follow up, I'm currently working on knitting up a few test cowls and scarves which I will ask your feedback on soon.  I'm trying to work out great new stitch patterns and designs according to the knit wear trends for next year.

Thanks again for your help!  I'm also currently brainstorming evolutions which I plan to implement in my purse line.
