Our events will now be held directly on the CRAFTfest website. The window to your stall will take the customer wherever YOU want them to go at the first point of contact. This can be -
- Your website (home page, specific category or a new page you made especially for the event)
- Your online store (Etsy, Folksy, Amazon, Ebay …)
- Your Facebook or other social networking page.
- Your blog.
- Any other online space that you use to sell your creations.
- An email address (not recommended but possible.
- If you do not have any online presence at all we can arrange to host your products for you for an extra cost. Please contact us for information about this.
This also means that you have much less preparation work to do and can devote your time to marketing yourself and others who are taking part.
