Childhood is the most colorful period of our lives. Do you remember when we imagined ourselves as powerful kings and beautiful princesses?
Tonie Habets surely does. He's one of the founders of BubblyDoo. Thanks to the special software of the company, children and parents can create and print the books of their wildest imagination.
BubblyDoo was born in 2019 in Antwerpen.
Its mission is to be the place where every child is unique and has the freedom to express their dreams. Regardless of nationality, skin tone, and gender.
But BubblyDoo is not alone in its cause. The company partners with some big brands such as Studio 100 and the Belgium Football Association.
For only two years, BubblyDoo has sold over 10 000 books in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. It is the student startup of the year for 2020. Kid's joy inspires the team to think about more opportunities for them, such as creating tailored toys and board games.
This would be one of the most colorful episodes of Boost your e-Commerce Business. We will dive deep into the customized, on-demand niche and will know how BubblyDoo is preparing for the upcoming peak season.
Open your mind to a different point of view with Tonie Habets. Let's explore the bridge between our adventurous childhood and e-Commerce together.

De kindertijd is de meest kleurrijke periode van ons leven. Weet je nog dat we ons voorstelden als machtige koningen en mooie prinsessen?
Tonie Habets zeker wel. Hij is een van de oprichters van BubblyDoo. Dankzij de speciale software van het bedrijf kunnen kinderen en ouders de boeken van hun wildste fantasie maken en printen.
BubblyDoo werd in 2019 geboren te Antwerpen.
Haar missie is om de plek te zijn waar elk kind uniek is en de vrijheid heeft om hun dromen te uiten. Ongeacht nationaliteit, huidskleur en geslacht.
Maar BubblyDoo staat niet alleen in zijn zaak. Het bedrijf werkt samen met enkele grote merken zoals Studio 100 en de Belgische voetbalbond.
In slechts twee jaar heeft BubblyDoo meer dan 10.000 boeken verkocht in België, Duitsland en Nederland. De kindervreugde inspireert het team om na te denken over meer mogelijkheden voor hen, zoals het maken van speelgoed op maat en bordspellen.
Dit zou een van de meest kleurrijke afleveringen zijn van Boost your e-Commerce Business. We duiken diep in de op maat gemaakte, on-demand niche en leren hoe BubblyDoo zich voorbereidt op het komende hoogseizoen.
Laten we samen de brug tussen onze avontuurlijke jeugd en e-commerce verkennen.
