An overview of the services Green Oaks Center provides. We enjoyed flexing our creative muscles earlier this year and can't wait to start back up in January! This quarter, we are celebrating Blane Clark's entrepreneurial spirit.For several years, Blane has been building wooden risers for local embroidery machines, but after reaching a saturation point with local sales, Blane decided to branch out and sell his product on the internet. With assistance from his family, Blane began listing the risers on Etsy.This has proven to be a huge success in growing his business. Recent sales counts show Blane has sold nearly two hundred risers and his sales continue to increase with positive online reviews and numerous "5" star reviews from buyers. With price comparison guidance from GOC staff Kirk Moulton, Blane has significantly reduced shipping and manufacturing costs thereby maximizing profits.This has allowed Blane to purchase additional tools for his business. If you're interested in purchasing a riser please check out Blane's storefront "Rising to the Challenge" on Etsy.
