With this past Mother’s day now behind us, the baby products industry in
Second Life is still as competitive as in any business in Second Life.
SLE set its sights on what the parents in
Second Life want and need to make sure they have a complete parenting experience
and how they keep their little ones happy.
Many of us have heard GOOCCI GOO
and are aware that it is one of the leading baby brand names in Second Life but
we do not know much about the creator Trace Coberts.
Trace has worked hard in building her business to what it is today and
SLE thought it was time to shine our spotlight and find out a bit more about
her . This interview is not only for our readers but also for her loyal
customers who have supported her and have helped Trace’s business grow.
Interview with Trace Corbets
Piers: Hi Trace, how
did you get the idea of designing baby clothing/products? Also what inspired
the name?
Trace Coberts: Well to be honest, I
had heard of the clothing kits for various babies. I decided to look into them
to see what the kit actually contained and after viewing the contents of the
kit I thought that it was something that I would enjoy doing. Since day one in
sl I have been building and wanted to test my hand in photoshop so felt this
was the right product and time to begin.
With the name, lol, I really don’t
know how I came up with the name. It was just something that just came to me
and thought uhm that sounds like a catchy name, so went with it. Really my
store was only supposed to stay "small" I never had any intentions of
it growing as big as what it is today lol.
Piers: GOOCCI GOO has
been so successful but what do you think are the main reasons for its success?
Trace Coberts: Well I think with any business it is down to constant making of new
items, hard work and also the love of what you are creating. I think this is
the main reason why GOOCCI GOO has been successful.
Piers: Anyone who has been in Second Life will have noticed
that the baby industry in Second Life is let’s say "booming" What do
you feel the reasons are for this?
Trace Coberts: I think that people always
love babies and to be able to have a baby in SL, to be able to nurture and to
look after your baby just as RL, also as the babies in SL have become so
advance in what you’re able to do, has played a great part in why having a baby
in SL is so popular. Also if we go deeper and bring RL into it, it also has become
popular for those who are not able to have children in real life, also for
partners to build a special bond together as they would in RL.
Piers: What advice
would you give anyone wanting to enter the baby manufacturing business in
Second Life?
Trace Coberts: Really just to stick
with it as it doesn’t happen overnight
Piers: What do you
like to do when you are not creating in Second Life?
Trace Coberts: Honestly, that is
basically all I do in Second Life, other than tormenting a few friends. I am
usually creating LOL and yes, I do love the babies here in second Life. I love
creating for them but there is only one I chose to role play with and that is
funsies
Piers: What is next for you?
Trace Coberts: Lands. Who knows? I
am always finding another baby to make clothing for. Lol. Really I just plan to
continue to do what I have been doing, after a much needed vacation!
GOOCCI GOO have sales on many of
their products so TP and check the store out.
