Paw-Berries Bandanas
Vendor
I make handmade dog bandanas. I buy all of my fabric locally from fabric stores. I sew the bandanas by hand and I apply snap buttons on the bandanas by hand as well. I package all of my bandanas individually by wrapping them in plastic clear bags and placing logo stickers on each of them. I also include a background story inside each bag for my customer's to read once they've purchased a bandana. My bandanas range in small to large dog breed sizes and they are machine-washable. I take great pride in my product and I am passionate about creating new bandanas for whatever the customer needs.Currently, I have over 30 different bandana styles. I also include my customer relations to be something that I take pride in. I believe that having great customer service is key to a successful booth. I do not believe in having chairs for me to sit behind my booth, because I know how much that is a turn-off to shoppers. Instead, I like to be attentive and accessible for customers to ask them about their day and answer any questions they might have. I also love to talk to them about their pets - because who doesn't like to brag about their pet?
I have been a vendor for the Lakeland First Friday Maker's Market for several months and I have had great success. So much so that I am confident that I would be a successful vendor for this location. It is a dream of mine to be a vendor for this market because I have seen the great success and community support that local businesses have received from it.

Kelsey had the idea to start Paw-Berries Bandanas in 2018 when she was inspired by her own puppy to start making them. Over time, she learned how to perfect the bandanas for optimal dog-friendly efficiency. Kelsey lives in Florida with her husband and their fur-child, a white Labrador Retriever named LuLu.
In 2017, Kelsey graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Agricultural Communications. She is passionate about enhancing agricultural literacy amongst her family and peers. No farmers = No food!
She is a high school teacher and survives on iced coffee.
Her favorite part of the dog bandana making process, you ask? When customers give their ideas on future styles they’d like to have for their pup!
