Access to interesting and unique items is a boon to any business owner. Having items that your customers want but your competitors don’t have is integral to running a successful business. So you keep an eye out for something that might spark customer interest that isn’t already filling the shelves of the shop down the street. For a one-of-a-kind item that will get your customers buzzing, check out The Clock Lady!
A Product Worth Your TimeJoAnn Shorter, the owner and operator, is an artist, and her medium is clocks. She offers a wide variety of pre-made designs available in her signature style that range from animal pictures to a heroes collection and even a pop culture collection. Each of these clocks is designed by JoAnn to be visually appealing and of course, functional.
Each piece is American made right there in Marietta, GA, even the inner workings of the clock mechanism are made in America whenever possible. The image is printed on a quality, matte photo paper and is adhered to an eco-friendly wood product (Masonite). It is then sealed for added protection!
If your customer would like a more personal product, they can get a clock custom made with their own photos. Though the artwork concept is the same for ready-made and custom clocks, the size options, assembly process and materials differ slightly.
After your custom clock is designed and then approved by you, the final image is printed on high quality matte canvas. This allows for superior color depth and a subtle texture that gives each piece its own elegance. All printing is done in-house on a professional grade wide format printer. This equipment utilizes twelve separate pigment ink cartridges to provide a full range of beautiful true-to-life colors that will remain fade and moisture resistant. The printed canvas is then carefully adhered to and hand wrapped around a wooden, circular background. The wrapping technique gives the piece a finished edge on all sides but seams are present, just like a fine unframed art canvas you might see on display in a museum.
So if you’re looking for a unique item your customer’s will love, contact The Clock Lady!
As a store owner, finding a product that’s not already in your competition’s window and which caters to customer demand is difficult to accomplish. And yet, the key to running a successful business is exactly that, uncovering a common, unfilled niche and finding a way to fill it! If what you are providing doesn’t satisfy your customer’s desires, no amount of brilliant marketing, dramatic price reduction or excellent customer service will have an effect.
The good people at Luludi Living Frames have found their niche and are now offering their products to you!
In this modern age, customers are constantly on the lookout for a way to inject more of the natural world into their daily lives. They are hemmed in by concrete walls and are forced to focus their attention on plastic boxes filled with silicone parts. Customers are searching for a reminder that outside those walls and beyond that box there is another world. A beautiful, natural place filled with life and light. No company addresses this need better than Luludi Living Frames!
Living Frames are similar to picture frames, but they are thicker and intended to hold flowers or green plants instead of flat photos. The frames are versatile and, just like picture frames, can be hung high on the wall or set low on an end table.
Each of these frames has been elegantly designed and crafted to express serenity, peace, health and abundance to your customer’s living space, and all frames are carefully constructed from natural materials. Unwilling to settle for less, the company commissions uniquely talented artists to create their custom frames, decorative accents and other accessories!
But this company doesn’t just offer frames. You can also find exquisite terrariums, aromatherapy terrariums, decorative planters and even items for kids!
If your customers want splendid, custom-made products meant to showcase nature in all it’s glory, then you want Luludi Living Frames!
Hand-crafted. It’s only one word, but it carries a world of meaning.
To customers, hand-crafted means unique. Though the craftsman attempts the same piece again and again, there is always some slight variation to distinguish each one, and the customer receives a product that cannot be exactly duplicated. To shop owners, hand-crafted means quality. No unknowing, uncaring machine created this product. It was crafted with human hands, inspected with human eyes. They can trust their customer will be pleased because they know the item is well made.
Each of those desirable qualities can be found in the suncatchers offered by Suncatcher Heaven! Suncatchers are designed to act as prisms, reflecting and refracting light into a dazzling display of color and beauty, making them perfect for windows or anywhere in your store with access to abundant light.

All of these suncatchers are hand-crafted in the coastal rain forest of the Pacific Northwest and are made with the finest materials available. All of the crystal featured is fully leaded, which results in added strength, durability and provides a slight warmth to the touch as well as imbuing the crystal with a brilliant, silvery shimmer! In addition, each of the glass pieces is hand painted with meticulous care by artisans who take pride in their work. If quality craftsmanship is important to you, these suncatchers fit the bill!
Suncatcher Heaven has a myriad of exquisite options sure to capture your customer’s attention and to make the perfect gift!

It’s difficult to find anything truly unique in this day and age. I can eat a burger at a fast food restaurant in California, hop a plane to New York and, once I land, find the same restaurant and eat the same burger all over again. It is packaged and sold to each of us as a model of reliability and consistency, but is that lack of variety always a good thing? I’m not so sure.
Let’s face it, we live in a an overly processed, mass-produced world. It starts with the food we eat and extends to the very products we buy. Whether decoration, food or furniture, everything tastes, smells and looks exactly like everything else. There’s precious little originality to be had and even less personality. In an industry supposedly driven by consumer demand, we are led to believe that this is what the buyer wants. And yet, without a doubt, there is a consistently swelling market for uniqueness.
Every day, more and more consumers are interested in finding something that sets them apart from the crowd. These customers aren’t remotely interested in having the same decorations and styles exhibited by their neighbor, they want something different, something better. Identical items produced by machines to be mimeographed copies of one another are no longer enough. Now it’s important to carry items that allow your customer to fulfill their desire to be unique.
There are sources for products out there that fill this niche, and one of them is Ellie Pots Inc., a company that produces high quality, hand-crafted crystalline pottery. You know it’s different because any hand-crafted item, even when created by the most skilled of craftsman, will be one-of-a-kind. One may be similar to that which came before, but no two will ever be exact duplicates. There will always be some fluctuation in temperature that causes a minor difference in color tint or a shift on the wheel effecting a slight change in shape that gives each piece a unique personality.
With over 10 years of experience, Ellary Blair personally designs and creates each piece of crystalline pottery with an eye toward quality and craftsmanship. Graduating from the University of Kansas in 2002, Ellary earned a BFA and decided that crystalline pottery was the area she wished to pursue. At that moment, Ellie Pots Inc. was born.
Now Ellary creates beautiful pieces that are all but ordinary. She offers tiles, vases, bowls, ornaments and now even lamps! Ellary’s most proud of her line of horse hair raku items. This process uses actual horse hair! When the hair is applied to a recently fired piece, the hair leaves black marks anywhere it has touched and the result is simply breathtaking.
If you are interested in purchasing some truly one-of-a-kind items for your shop that your customers will adore, contact Ellary Blair at Ellie Pots Inc.!
