Cold Day Gonna Come...A Snugglers Dream! By John D. Verlin

"Winters Warmth" Verlin Studio's popular woven blanket

I thought by now this would have been put in the cedar chest--since Spring is officially here. But with old man winter still ravaging the country with snow, winds, rain...the perfect snuggling blanket is still apropos.

At 60x90 inches--it makes for a very comfortable snuggling blanket or throw blanket just to take the "chill" off at night.

Woven blankets are so much nicer than standard weave blankets--as the hand-woven feature retain durability and style.

What makes this blanket so nice is its customized monogram option--and features four popular Verlin Studio prints (Burning Sunrise, Winters Song, Winters Road and Pastorale Stream).

Truly--these original Verlin Studio prints make this a one of a kind blanket that no one else carries.

Verlin Studio's prints and products are exclusive from their website and linked Etsy purchasing platform at: www.verlinstudios.com. 

I get emails and comments all the time, "why don't you just sell your products through Amazon or a major retailer?"

Good question. My answer is because of these new digital platforms--I can sell directly to the customer via my website and Etsy buying platform. They're both set up to ship directly from the supplier--without having to go through another "layer" of hassle.

True--I'd reach a much larger audience--but these platforms allow me to target the kind of people I think would like and appreciate our products. And I can do it through social media and online display/text ads.

More importantly--I can control the process---and not have to worry about a customer getting upset at a wrong order, etc. They call me directly and I can fix it directly.

So, from a small business owner perspective--it makes it more user-friendly for the customer and creates a more artist-customer relationship.

People can email or call me directly rather than deal with a large website or box store. Plus--I can offer anything I want without having to deal with required metrics or discounts middle men retailers would want to charge for their profit margins.

I try keep my suppliers offering lower prices--but I don't take a big profit margin. I have to be competitive for sure--but this is more of a joy and passion thing for me--not to make a killing.
