Crafting Crazy Is Born!

After many months, Crafting Crazy is finally here! My partner, Gary and I, worked very hard on coming up with a website that artisans could sell their handcrafted treasures on the internet. Many handcrafted artisans struggle to make a living and find it hard to manage the upkeep of a website. We feel like we have something to offer them. At Crafting Crazy they can sell their items for only a 25 cent listing fee. We do not change commissions or rent. The site is simple, but that is what keeps the cost down. The important thing is selling their handcrafted items, not putting them on a pretty site that has no traffic! We are committed to getting the word out about Crafting Crazy, and we do request that sellers to the same. This provides them with experience in promoting themselves and their items. Simple things like having business cards and giving them to anyone they meet will provide them with traffic to their 'store'. We also provide a service where if they want to purchase a domain and have it pointed to their 'store' we can do this, also they can have a personalized email address. This way on their business cards it can say, www.yourdomain.com , instead of real long a address with craftingcrazy added to it. Their email would say theirname@theirdomain.com , this is very professional and when customers enter their url they are directed to the seller's items. Each seller have their own admin area, where they can post their listings, advertise, check on their sales. Sales are posted immediately and and the seller is notified right away. The money from the sale is put into their PayPal account, we have nothing to do with their sales. We also offer an affiliate program for our sellers, just another way that they can make money. Buyers can feel comfortable about buying on Crafting Crazy also. We have a secure site and their personal information is not saved. They can purchase by PayPal, by Credit Card and by check, if the seller accepts them. All Items for sale are handcrafted by the artisan. We do not allow the sale of items purchased for resale. We already have several sellers that have signed up for Crafting Crazy today, and expect many more! Buyers need to add us to their favoriates and check back often. I am sure that there will be many sale items listed for the holidays. I will be posting pictures of current items for sale in the future for my blog readers to check out. I thank you for checking out Crafting Crazy and please let me know what you think of it. Have a wonderful day! Patty
