Thank you for inviting us to do the Tuesday Ten! Let’s just
jump right into this!

1. Introduction
My name is Haley and I live in Hyrum, UT with my husband and
two kids. Almost five years ago I decided to make some magnets for my classroom
(I taught 6th grade) because I wanted some magnets that were strong.
I made several different kinds and decided to make an etsy account and try to
sell a few. The next step was farmers market and that’s when my husband jumped
on board. He thought I was crazy and kind of mad that I was spending so much
money on supplies, but then he saw I was making money and was happy to help
expand and improve the business. He’s the reason that this business has grown
in to what it is.

2. What is
Magnetic-Art?
Magnetic-Art?
All of our products are magnetic and include refrigerator
magnets, magnetic jewelry, and magnetic games.

3. Designer Magnets
This was our very first product. It started as glass bubble
magnets, then we did bottle cap magnets, and now we make our magnets with button
materials (like pin back buttons).

4. Tic-Tac-Toe
This was our second product. We love these games because it
is small in size (4.25in x 4.25in) to easily fit in a purse or bag, the pieces
are all magnetic so they don’t get lost as easily and stay in place while
playing, and the convenient tin holds all the playing pieces when not in use!
Most of our customers say they love bringing it to church for their kids to
play with and it’s also great to keep in the car for road trips.

5. Magnetic Necklace
This is our best seller. We have hundreds of necklace images
and they all have a magnet on the back to go in the necklace pendant. It is so
many necklaces in one! These necklaces are perfect for teens and adults! The
necklace images fit snug in the pendant so they won’t fall out. We have four
different pendants—two silver and two bronze options.

6. Magnetic Bracelet
This is our newest product! All of our jewelry images fit
interchangeably with both the bracelet and necklace. We offer two sizes of
bracelet chains: 6 inch and 5 inch. They are so stylish and with so many image
options, they can match any outfit!

7. Magnetic Keychain
Once again, these are the same size as our necklace and
bracelet pendants so all of the images are interchangeable with the keychain as
well.

8. License Plate Game
Allen and I are always trying to come up with new products.
Since we already have the tins we use for the tic-tac-toe games, we decided to
use it for another game as well. When we go on road trips, we love keeping
track of all the different state license plates we see, and came up with a way
to make it into a game! The check marks are magnetic and you can check off each
state as you see it! This is a great way to keep kids distracted in the car on
long road trips or even just as you drive around town. We recently had these
games on jane.com and sold out by 1 pm on the first day of the sale!

9. Where do we sell?
We started selling on etsy. Because etsy is quite saturated
with stores, it was difficult for us to get many sales on there. We have done
farmers market every summer since we started and have been very successful
there. We do lots of craft shows in Cache Valley, Farmington, and Sandy; we
started selling on Very Jane this month, and we have a website www.magnetic-art.com. We are hoping over
the next year to increase our online sales so that we don’t have to do quite as
many craft shows.
