I have 20+ years experience in graphic design. That gave us a real advantage in creating the line. We were able to design all aspects including the logo, fans, hangtags, advertising, sales sheets, bus. cards, etc... all that is involved.
I do freelance work for a company here in Charlotte, NC that designs school supplies. They were able to help me find a supplier for the fans. There are no fan manufacturers in the U.S. so, we had to go to China. There were many kinks to workout but all in all it went fairly smoothly.
If you are thinking of starting a business where you are dealing with the Chinese, expect communication problems. We had a hard time with the term "embroidery" for example. They need samples for reference - that helps tremendously.
I hope I answered your questions. And, I hope you visit our site. Many wives out there need fans!
