It was on a drive with her sister that Joaney Starblanket was given the idea that changed her life for the better, a little over one month ago.
It was on a drive with her sister that Joaney Starblanket got the idea that changed her life for the better, a little over one month ago.
Starblanket said her sister thought it would be funny if pets had their own treaty cards.
“I thought to myself, why not,” she told CTV News.
That “why not” then became a few quick edits on Canva, then a template, then one for her own cat, ‘Goober,’ and Starblanket said it blew her sister away during their next visit.
She shared it with her coworkers at the Painted Hand Casino in Yorkton, who told her that she had something special, urging her to start selling them online.
She made a TikTok account, which only has three videos, but those videos have been watched over 700,000 times in the past month — that has translated to around 700 sales in that calendar month.
“I posted [the first] video, and [it got] 16,000 likes in one day,” Starblanket said. “I think the idea itself is really original and unique.”
