Tired of Chasing Algorithms? ​

We Don’t Use Them.

​​​

If, like many crafters, you're wondering about sales and marketing or find it time consuming, expensive and simply frustrating working out latest algorithms for online market places (such as one which rhymes with Betsy!) then don't worry you have come to the right place.

 

Through our research we have found many crafters ask the following questions:-

 

• How do I get my name "out there"?

• Why aren’t people buying my creations?

• Why aren't people visiting my online shop?

• And how can I sell more?

​

We don’t know many crafters who started their hobby business because they enjoy selling. We understand that marketing can often be confusing, costly and sometimes disheartening.

 

CraftLocal is here to help you on your way to success.

​

So how does it work?

To register on our online directory we simply need an image and a brief summary aligned with the Season (for example a Summer Term focus could include Teacher's Thank You's). Our community partners (such as schools) then share our online store through their newsletters and receive an incentive when people visit.  This means that lots of lovely local people will see you!  If they wish to find out more about your makes then they can simply click on the button to be directed to your online presence (this could be your Etsy shop, website or Facebook page).

Will I be in competition with like crafters outside of my area, or even globally like other online marketplaces?

No.  We ensure all crafters are located within a maximum of a 30 mile radius of where the product will featured, meaning that competing with makers nationally or even internationally with many marketplaces will no longer be any trouble. 

​

Who are our partners?

These could be schools, clubs, scouts, any community organisation who are looking for an extra source of income.

 

So how do I find out more?

Firstly, drop us a line in the form HERE to register for further information.  Don't worry, we understand that you will have lots of questions, which we are more than happy to answer without obligation.

​

What about delivery?

Delivery can either be made by yourself by post or if you wish you could organise an in person delivery at the chosen partners venue (with prior agreement) meaning that postage costs and items going missing can be a thing of the past. 

 

What are our fees?

Our charges are designed to be competitive with hosting a craft stall and therefore there is a maximum fee of £25 per term for your product which will appear in our direct marketing and our online shop. Keep an eye our for our Early Bird Offers HERE meaning its FREE to feature!
