How to sell 3D prints as the fixes show

when we go and meet real people, real

families in this case that are beginning

their 3D printing businesses and we talk

about the things that are doing right,

the things that they're not doing so

right and we help them to come out with

a plan to really succeed their business.

Today I'm here with Little Printy Co.

which is more than just a business. It's

a family. We are like really excited for

that because I know that Bruno and

Ashley have like a lot of experience

more than eyes. We are like new in 3D

printing world. It's like let's say 6

months and I know that we are going to

have like a great feedback from them for

sure.

>> Thank you very much for being on the

show. I also have here with me my

co-host Ashley Lee who's an expert in

local sales and we are going to dive a

little bit deeper on how they're running

their business and what are you guys

doing. So please start by telling us how

it all began and what's the story behind

Little Printy Co. So Mila kind of

started with she brought home like a toy

that her friend made for her on her 3D

printer and she really liked it and she

showed my parents and she like wanted to

get a 3D printer with her own money. So

she saved up and got one and my parents

like they were really interested in it

and really invested cuz it was a new

thing for all of us like especially for

them cuz it was more like modern stuff

and then they researched about it. Mila

made like a paper with pros and cons and

a week later we got our second printer

and that's how it started.

>> Nice. So what were you when you started

to sell the prints like what were the

first things that you guys sold?

>> What do we started with playsets and

then eventually we made clickers

>> and this would have been when?

>> 6 months ago.

>> Month ago.

>> Yes. When we started our Etsy shopping.

>> So you right away started an Etsy shop.

>> Yeah. Exactly. Because you want to sell,

right? And then the easier way to do it

was Etsy was market very famous popular

marketplace. So that's why we started

there. And then a month ago I believe we

launched our website our own website.

>> So was it like you got the printer and

the next day okay let's build a business

or how did that how did it immediately

turned into a business? I think when we

saw the opportunity that it is something

that the four of us we enjoy in doing it

and then we decided say okay let's turn

into a a business because it's an

interesting story G and I we were having

lunch together and then we were talking

about something a a new business or we

want to bring the girls uh to do

something that they are good at and then

they what they like because we never

know the future with our jobs uh with

them and then this at the same day Mila

came to us talking about 3D printing. So

that's why we decided to invest in her

idea.

>> Uh were you guys researching 3D printing

content? Were you guys seeing 3D

printing content? How the Miller's idea

turned back to this could be a business

for us?

>> Because after we bought our first

printer,

>> we start searching for everything. uh

how to use the printer, how to set up uh

the printer, how to use Bumble Lab

Studio. We didn't know anything about

>> our first products were were like

>> the play sets and we hired like a

designer and he created everything based

on the girls ideas and we could like

seeing the real life just a print in our

machine. So, uh, you talked about like

initially it was all Omea's idea and

vision, but you didn't research if this

was a product that had had demand on the

market and and is this product a hit?

It's still a hit.

>> Yeah.

>> Wow. Uh, and you're still expanding on

the playsets?

>> Yes, we have some other ideas for now.

>> We have 10 playsets right now. Are they

your best seller? The playsets.

>> The playsets is they are

>> Yeah, but it's changed a little bit.

It's changed a little bit now.

>> Especially the the pasta play site is so

good.

>> It's so good. We are selling a lot. The

pasta playet.

>> I saw you have it on Etsy.

>> Yeah, it's uh went viral.

>> Yeah, you we use like Instagram and Tik

Tok for now, but I think soon we are

going to use YouTube charts as well.

>> So our video for Pa Playsets went viral

as well. On Tik Tok I think it's more

than 4 million views.

>> That's a lot.

>> Yeah. And then here on Instagram, um, 1

million something, 1.8.

>> Yeah, millions if I'm not wrong.

>> Awesome. Uh, and you you guys are

obviously very talented in social media.

Uh, well, so you got you got to be doing

something, right? Because if you're not

if this was not something that you guys

studied, but you started posting and it

worked, then you clearly have a talent

for it, right? And I want to know, you

have right now an Instagram and a Tik

Tok, right?

>> Yes. Which one drives more traffic? How

are you driving this traffic? How are

you guys working with them?

>> On Instagram, we it's the our main

social media uh platform.

>> Do you tag the products?

>> Uh the products. Oh, you were saying the

designer?

>> No, the products that the person can

click and buy inside Tik Tok.

>> No, no, I don't know how to
