Have you ever wondered what motivates someone to begin a collection
of any type? Being the owner/operator of Just Bears and Stuff gift
shop, I have pondered that question on more than one occasion. My
customer base is full of loyal folks who are more committed to the
art of collecting teddy bears.
I have customers from all walks of life – from stay at home moms to
busy professionals. Each has their own reasons as to why they began
their collection. Following are some of the primary reasons people
have told me they buy, collect and cherish their teddy bears.
1. It satisfies the soul.
2. They have a friend or family member who encouraged them.
3. They like the feeling teddy bears give them.
4. Teddy bears are great conversation pieces.
5. Most everyone loves a cuddly bear.
6. Investment purposes.
7. Teddy bears make great listeners.
8. It’s Fun!
