Virtual Craft Fairs For Handicraft Artists
I really have a passion for arts and crafts. I regularly find myrself making gifts for others and knitting for charity donations. I have found that there is the potential to make a little money. I do not just use your creations as gifts, but I use them to earn a little extra money on the side. How? With the help of the popular bookmarking site called Pinterest.
To actually list your arts and craft projects for sale on the website, you need to create pin board. Visit Pinterest to create your Pinnable Board.. Although easy, You must be proactive and dedicated to make your board noticeable and popular to be seen. Be sure to add very nice and interesting photos and you can link the photos back to your blog or website. Remember, Consumers rarely buy items without first seeing pictures. Increase your chances of making a sale by taking a few pictures of the item you are selling. Don't use stock photographs, but a picture of the actual item. Accompany that picture with a detailed description.
Fair selling price. It is tricky to sell arts and crafts. Your goal is to make money, but a low selling price virtually guarantees a sale. Unfortunately, you aren't a mass production line, meaning your supplies and time cost more. That is why a fair selling price is important. It ensures you make money, but is low enough to generate consumer interest. When setting your price, consider the cost of supplies and the time spend to make each item. Go from there.Customization. Since you make your arts and craft projects by hand, you have a unique opportunity to offer an additional service to your buyers. That is customization. Whether an interested buyer would like a different colored wind chime or their name painted on, you can do it. In fact, state in your listing that customization and personalization is available for either free or a small fee.
As you can see, it is relatively easy to monetize your arts and crafts projects online. Since the popularity of Pinterest has increased and it continues to grow, now is the best time to use the website to your advantage!
