Online Handcrafted Product Shop June 13, 2008
Posted by jewel in Business, Hobby, Internet. trackbackI’ve been thinking to open my own online shop. But there seems so much things that hold me back. First, I still can’t decide what products to be sold. And when I eventually found it, I need to know where can I get the supplier. Then there’s also shipping and payment method to be considered. And the most important thing, how will I promote my shop. All of these make me stop before I even start ^^;;
Besides selling manufactured products, I also dream about having handcrafted products + craft tools online shop. But to showcase my own creation only, I’m afraid buyer will have limited selection to choose from. I’m thinking about asking another crafters to sell their creations on my site. They still keep their product, but they sell it through my shop. The problem is, if a buyer buys 3 items from 3 different crafters, he/she will be charged 3x shipping fee T_T If I were the buyer, I will mind that problem :(
So, I come up with a solution. Crafters who want to sell their product through my shop will have to send their product to me. First, they will send me the photo of their product. The product will have to be approved by me before I agree to sell it on my shop. Crafters are to be advised to send their products in bulk to save on shipping fee. From then on, I will take charge of the rest. Maybe I’ll charge some percentage of the price to cover my cost ^^;;
Anybody interested? If I get many respondent, maybe I’ll go along with this plan ^^
Be successful, nice info.
