Perfect for Baby-Focused Businesses

Many baby-themed businesses are adapting to changes in family routines and spending habits. Raised tiles are ideal because they:

• Take only a few minutes to create
• Fit naturally into baby classes or photography sessions
• Offer parents a beautiful keepsake without a long appointment
• Create an additional income stream with minimal setup

• Can be offered during classes, events, or pop-ups

Suitable for baby sensory classes, baby massage, toddler groups, early years settings, and newborn photography studios.

Business Benefits

• Low material cost, high perceived value
• Quick to create — ideal for busy parents
• Works as a drop-in, add-on, or pre-booked mini session
• No specialist equipment needed
• Easy to offer at events, classes, or pop-ups
• Perfect for seasonal promotions (Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas)
• Great for upselling alongside photos, prints, or keepsakes

What You Can Offer After Training

• Baby hand and foot tiles
• Toddler tiles
• Pawprint tiles
• Family gift sets
• Framed or unframed tiles
• Seasonal or personalised designs

Mini Session Ideas: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, first birthdays, pawprint pop-ups, sibling tiles, nursery open days, baby class add-ons
