It's really convenient that I have a diploma in Public Relations and Marketing. Sometimes I marvel at how things worked out. From the day I graduated, I didn't really want to be a PR person, but the skills I learned in those classes are skills I have used over and over. Graphic design, marketing, website design, etc etc etc. Man, it's saving me a LOT of money.
I'm almost ready for my first licensing pitch. I have a letter, a full-colour brochure, a website and a prototype. All of which are geared subliminally to the company I'm hitting up first. I chose that company because I feel my product fits well with their line, I like their style and I think if I lived anywhere close to them I'd be happy working there. It looks like a fun, young environment.
I sent my brochure to the printer today and ordered 30, but I hope I end up with 29 leftovers. I'm not putting all my hopes in this company, but hey, a girl can dream! It would be a great story to be able to say "the first company I pitched to snapped it up". Unreal and unlikely, but understandable.
