Hi, I kinda jumped in feet first the other day, joining and posting... I apologize for not introducing myself first.
I'm Lloyd Kerry, a part-time woodworking entrepreneur from Prince Edward Island. I still do some cabinet work, but have branched out into the Kerry-All Pouch, woven polyethylene covers for just about anything you need to cover. I started with the plywood pouch, basically a 4' x 8' 'envelope' for sheet goods (plywood, paneling, drywall) and have broadened the scope to include covers for farm equipment, outdoor power equipment (ride-on mowers, portable generators, etc.). I'm a one-man operation working with a two-man upholstery shop.
I've been doing this part-time for about two years and a bit. It's gradually catching on, but since most of my products are new to the world (have YOU ever seen a plastic pouch for plywood?) I really am struggling to get them noticed in the world wide web. I've already gotten some great advice here, and I look forward to sharing the few things I've learned along the way (such as: magazine advertising is REALLY expensive, and I'm not so sure it works anymore)...
Anyway, looking forward to learning lots here, and if you need a pouch (large or small) to hold all the money you're making, you know where to turn to!
