Hi this is James from craftmarker.com with the video series, the ten most asked questions about selling your crafts and the ten questions you should be asking. This is video six of twenty.
A question you should be asking is how can I make them sell crafts that are trend proof and sell consistently? There are several things you can do to make crafts that sell, regardless of trends or fads. Quality always sells. Make unique craft items and make them well and people will buy them. Themes always sell. Create a line of crafts around themes, like cats, or frogs, or angels. People love their themes and collect related products.
Scarcity always sells. Create a limited edition set of items, and stay in promotional material, you will not repeat that limited edition again. Added value always sells. Add creative extras, like a nicely framed storage, a certificate of authenticity, or a DVD telling how the craft came about. Personalized crafts always sell. When possible, charge an extra amount and add personal names to your craft item.
Now, that you have some ideas for how to trend proof your craft, you may be thinking about another question. How much should I charge from my craft items? Learn how to price your crafts in the next video. This is James from craftmarker.com. See you in the next video.
