As new parents to our beautiful baby girl “Makena Kingsley,” we’ve been unboxing baby gear and other thoughtful gifts from friends and family. We’re so grateful for the wonderful community of people we’ve surrounded ourselves with and couldn’t be happier with the new addition to our family. The other day we received a surprise gift from a good entrepreneur friend of mine, Demetrios Tzortzis. We attended a speaking boot-camp (Influencelogy) together and have remained friends every since.
While opening the package, I was impressed by the quality & style, as well as the branding and packaging. Take a look for yourself, I’m sure you’ll be equally impressed.
Billy Goat Baby Gear, a purveyor of quality children’s items, recently added two new items to its growing line of products. The new reversible paci clips are multipurpose and rust free. Billy Goat’s bandana-style bibs offer a whimsical and functional alternative to the bibs of yesterday.
Denver-based Billy Goat Baby Gear started in mid-2015 with its first product – a soft-soled leather shoe with coordinating socks for infants. The show style promotes proper foot growth and ergonomics for a quickly growing child. The company plans to introduce more products in 2016 including new bib prints to meet the demand for stylish yet durable items. Billy Goat’s products are available on Amazon. The company is poised to expand to bricks-and-mortar retailers in 2016.
“We are taking a different approach to bringing products to market,” said Demetrios Tzortzis, founder and chief ‘goat’ officer. “It’s one thing to imagine what parents want, and it’s a totally different thing to show them your ideas and get real-time feedback. We have been coordinating with a diverse group of parents to get their opinions and feedback on everything from items they use everyday to patterns they like most.”
Parents want stylish products, but we’ve also heard loud and clear that they must also be durable, Tzortzis said. Gender-neutral and easy-to-use also score high marks with our Billy Goat parent panel.
As the company continues to grow, it will donate a portion of profits to The Gathering Place, a unique Denver non-profit that offers care and services to in-need children, their families and transgender community. Billy Goat recently donated 300 pairs of children’s socks.
“Socks are critical and an often overlooked item for the children we serve.,” said Leslie Foster, president of The Gathering Place. “Billy Goat’s commitment helps us continue to meet the serious needs of children and families.”
