Who's Behind the Scene here?

One of my earliest recollections of my childhood was wearing steel-shank shoes because my feet tended to roll inward at the arch.  While all the other little girls had cute little sneakers and sandals, I was forced to wear these ugly brown saddle oxford style shoes – I called them “clod hoppers”. 

When I was about 6-years old, my grandmother took me shopping in Neiman Marcus.  We happened to walk by the shoe department, and there I spotted the most beautiful red shoes in the world.  They weren’t just red—they had sparkles under the surface—to this day I can remember how my heart pounded as I stood there staring at them.  My "little girl anticipation" rose when my grandmother asked me if I liked them.  As I told her yes, I was hoping she was going to tell me she'd buy them for me.  I was raised to never ask for something, so I didn’t dare tell her I wanted them, but secretly I hoped she’d figure it out. 

 My grandmother then told me, that when the doctors said I didn’t have to wear my corrective shoes, she would bring me back to Neiman Marcus and buy them for me.  I remember how excited I was--just the thought of wearing those red sparkly shoes!  Of course when you’re six, a day can seem as long as a year, and I  remember yearning for those red shoes--trying so hard to make my feet do what everyone said they had to do…….sadly, shoes I never got to wear.

Finally in junior high, my "clod-hoppers" were a thing of the past, but the ruby red ones at the department store never left my memory.  To this day I love shoes, and I love shopping for clothes.  That’s in part what led me to becoming the owner of this site.  I raised two daughters and always loved dressing them up.  Now I have twin granddaughters and it’s even more fun finding cute little outfits and shoes for them.

An important element in my decision to purchase anything, is the customer service I receive.  That being said, you have my personal guarantee that customer service will always be a priority at Adorable Baby Clothing.com.  If your call isn’t answered when you call, I promise you will get a call back the same day.  Emails—always answered promptly!

I hope you enjoy shopping at Adorable Baby Clothing.com.  If you don’t see what you’re looking for, send me an email at customercare@adorablebabyclothing.com and I’ll do my best to find it for you. 

Need advice on sizing or shipping—let me know!  I’ll get the answer for you as soon as possible.

Thanks for stopping by.

But I mean look…

The boy and I spent quite a bit of time looking through the site at the various novelty, special occassion, and boutique clothes as well as the other clothes that are listed.  Both of us oohed and aahed over outfits and realized that all four of ours are just too big to fit into any of these clothes.

The funny thing is?  I’ve never been one, even with two infants of my own, to pick out stuff like this but all of a sudden, I kind of wish that I had a little one to adorn in these clothes!  (so I guess I’ll just wait for one of my single friends to get married and have a kid so that I can buy something from here!)

Our Formal Dresses from Adorable Baby Clothing

 
Cynthia at www.adorablebabyclothing.com came through again!  I choose my girl's formal dresses there due to the amazing choices and the ease of finding two various sizes with no effort.  You can click on my PR link to see this past year's Christmas dresses or perform a search for adorable baby clothing to see all my posts.

The lilac dresses have beautiful sash bows in the back and on the side.  There embroidery is so beautiful and some are raised making the quality stand out even more.  The area underneath offers a tulle type petticoat to provide fullness.  They are absolutely gorgeous and are made of such high quality, it's worth the money.  I have all my dresses to date for the girls and plan on handing them down to them for when they have children one day.

I also use Adorable Baby Clothing because the person behind the store is a very wonderful and caring person.  I prefer a company that has a person behind the name.  Cynthia provides expert, caring customer support and if you purchase something from her store, you will see it!

I wasn't aware until just recently, she sells a host of many others items like baby shower favors, gifts, toys and every type of clothing imaginable.

WonderWoman Wednesdays… Cynthia Mock, CEO of Adorable Baby Clothing

Jump to Comments
 
Just in time for Easter, this week’s WonderWoman is Cynthia Mock, CEO of Adorable Baby Clothing.  Specializing in formal wear for the pint-sized fashion plate, at Adorable Baby Clothing you can find everything from a fab faux fur for your little princess or a tiny tux for your little prince. But Cynthia doesn’t stop there, you can also find a great baby shower gift or something “everyday” sweet for your little one. 

Customer service is the backbone of Adorable Baby Clothing, and Cynthia believes that it’s the key to her success. Here’s how she does it…

When did it hit you that there was an underserved market for formal clothing for children?

All you have to do is try to go shopping in a department store, and you’ll find out very quickly–choices are limited at best.  Years ago there seemed to be an abundance of children’s clothing stores, which often offered a few more choices, but they seem to have disappeared over the years.  If you do find a children’s clothing store in your area, they either are very limited on formal wear, or very expensive–not really a happy medium for most people.  At Adorable Baby Clothing.com, parents will find not only a huge selection of styles and colors, but sizes.  We don’t have to stock every single size and color, but we can sure get them from our vendors.  Additionally, by not having to pay rent for expensive real estate, and all that’s involved with running a traditional “brick and mortar” store, we can keep our prices lower.  We don’t skimp on quality — but I do try very hard to keep my prices extremely competitive for the consumers!  I’m a consumer too, and love knowing I’ve purchased a quality product at a great price.

How did you get into business? 

I owned a traditional retail store for several years prior to Adorable Baby Clothing.com.  I tried working for someone else after I sold that business, but honestly, once you’ve been your own boss it’s hard to work for someone else, no matter how great they are.  My goal for many years had been to own and operate an internet based business.  I had looked at several, but none ever felt like “me”. 

At about the same time I was going through the process of deciding where I wanted to go in business, I found out I was going to be a first time grandmother.  I was so excited about this new phase of my life, and became even more determined to find just the right business–and then, it dawned on me–children’s clothing!  I loved dressing my daughters up when they were little, and what fun to dress my new grandchildren (I have twin granddaughters!). 

I loved the product from the beginning.  The formal clothing is primarily manufactured by an American company called Lito.  Formal wear for children is all they produce, and it’s made right here in America.  Their attention to detail, fabrics, and pricing fit right into what I envisioned for my business.  When you buy one of their items, you can basically plan to hand it down from generation to generation.  All of the other manufacturers I utilize are also American companies.  I even have a few vendors, who hand make items, so the customer is virtually getting a handmade item for their child.

How do you go about finding the clothing lines you feature? Is it a difficult process to constantly find the “new” hot brands?

I’ve been approached by countless importers to carry their lines.  Although the prices have appeal, I am always concerned about quality, consistency, and the makeup up the fabrics.  In today’s world of global economy you would think that you could find anything you wanted.  In some sense that is true, but knowing that the garments you are selling to parents and grandparents for their children could be tainted, is not worth the gamble to me.  I prefer to carry lines that are proven in time, and form an integral part of the American economy.  Another factor I consider is whether or not the garment has a timeless appeal to it.  If you look at the dresses and suits on Adorable Baby Clothing, you’ll see that virtually every one of them would be as appealing 5-10 years from now as it is today.  What I’ve always believed is that buying a more classic style enables someone to keep on using that item, whether it’s for subsequent children, cousins, friends–whomever.  Economically it makes more sense to me.  Fads are great, but they are just that–here for a moment and then gone. 

What is a typical day like for you Cynthia?

Oh gosh–lol–busy busy busy.  Since I own and operate the website, I wear many hats.  Typically it starts with reading any emails, and fulfilling any orders that may have occurred during the night.  From there I try to do some social networking on Facebook, Twitter, and several social networking sites I’m a member of.  Once that’s completed I work on the website–a never ending process- which might involve removing discontinued items, and as I’m doing now, adding new products.  Often, I get phone calls from customers asking about a particular product, or when something is going to ship–I have some of the most interesting conversations with them!  Typically I start around 7:00am and finish whenever I’m finished…which one never knows!  I enjoy the challenges, and just wish I had two more hands, and eyes!

How does customer service factor into your business decisions? 

Customer service–that is Number One with me.  I’m a consumer too, and one of the big turn offs for me is when the customer service isn’t there.  So many large corporations have automated systems which prevent you from ever actually speaking with someone–it’s so frustrating!  I tend to gravitate towards companies that care about their customers.  They’re willing to help, they’re friendly, they let you know they want you to be satisfied–and, so I try to be just that.  It’s not worth making a sale and then having someone upset with the company because of poor customer service.  My position on customer service is influenced too by the garments and various items sold on the website–if the quality and consistency isn’t there–I’ll end up with headaches and sleepless nights–that’s why I choose the companies that I choose.

What are the most effective ways you have promoted and marketed Adorable Baby Clothing? What’s your best marketing tip?

Probably the most effective marketing has been through the social networking, and email blasts that I send out.  With so many companies on the internet you have to make yourself known.  Another avenue I utilize consistently is Google.  At least once a month I enter my entire product line into their database so that the search engines can find the website.  My best marketing tip is to keep your business in front of people.  We’re all busy people, and with that comes forgetfulness–ha ha–but truly, if you want people to remember you, you have to remind them you exist, and then give them a reason to come back, and/or tell others about your website.

If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself? What advice would you give someone else? 

Knowing what I know now, I would have gone to college for a degree in computer science.  Everything seems to revolve around computers now.

What goals do you have for the business this year? 

My goals for this year are to grow sales by at least 20%.  2009 was a tough year, and although I made it through, I’d like to push forward.  Additionally, I want to learn more about computer codes, and the inner workings of website design.  I’m learning, but being who I am, I like to know everything there is to know, and I’m not there yet.

What have you learned on your business journey that you’d like to share with other business owners?

If you’re going into business for yourself, do it in an area you can be passionate about.  I know that sounds corny, but if you don’t like what the product, or process is–it will make your life miserable.  You have to be willing to take financial risks.  The potential failure rate is huge, but with a lot of prayer and hard work you can become successful.  Being in business for yourself is going to require you to work more hours than you ever did for another company.  The responsibility for your success falls on your shoulders.  If you don’t want that kind of responsibility, then going into business for yourself probably isn’t a good idea.  Most importantly, you can’t let the “naysayers” discourage you.  Most people are not risk takers in the sense of opening their own business.  When a friend or family member announces they’re thinking of doing that, many will try to discourage you and encourage you to play it safe and just work a “safe” job.  I know the first time I decided to own my own business it took me two-years to convince myself it was the right decision.  That was over 6-years ago, and I’ve never regretted doing it.  There have been nail-biting moments, and many sleepless nights, but in the end, I’ve loved every minute of the challenges, rewards, and wonderful people I’ve met. 

This would be my analogy for life and business– There are always mountains in front of us.  If you’re trying to see the top of the mountain, or figure out how to get over it or around it, most likely you’ll be so overwhelmed that you’ll give up.  The way to get over the mountain is actually very simple–one step at a time.  Once you start moving forward, and deal with what you have to deal with where you are at that moment, then suddenly you look up and realize you’re on the other side of the mountain.  That’s what being in business is like.  One step at a time.

2010 Fashion for Children

The fashion game has evolved to include children too. Dressing them in practical but beautiful clothes that are on-trend can be fun and exciting for both kids & parents. Taking inspiration from the many children's wear catwalk designers, children's clothing trends are showing funky, fun clothes for boys and girls.

The majority of your child's time will probably be spent in clothes that are more casual, and that need to be good enough to handle a variety of tough situations. In the coming new year practicality is key, reflected in the sturdy fabrics that are prevalent, like denim and heavy cottons. Consumers will see a range of primary style colors like reds, blues, yellows and greens, with the clean lines and unfussy patterns making interchangeable outfits the key trend.

Girls are going to love another key trend for next year-- having one or two special, glamorous pieces which can be dressed up or down. Sparkly jeans, silvery boots, knits and super stylish Mac style coats are perfect for everyday when paired with something more casual. They are, however, also perfect for special occasions with a bit of dressing up by adding accessories. For boys, shirts work in the same way--the key being those which can be paired with jeans for a more casual look or trousers for a smarter finish.

Making durability fashionable is what designers everywhere are striving for in 2010. Bold plaids for boys and earth inspired colors for girls are paired with tough fabrics to create a natural look. You'll see more environmentally friendly fabrics and natural cottons to enhance the quality and reputation of many brands.

Taking a cue from adults, the latest trends in children's winter wear are layers using knitwear and coats to make cool layers in bright block colors. Essential for boys are jeans, as are big coats in those key primary colors. Tights and long socks for girls make perfect winter warmers, and are perfect for showing off some funky boots in a sparkly silver or bright block color. To make any outfit perfect for winter, add funky fun accessories.  Try adding hats and thick scarves for practicality and style. 

Style and practicality -- the perfect blend of elements to make shopping for children's clothing fun again!
