craftersbuzz.com

craftersbuzz.com has become a very popular place for crafters and artists to sell their wares. Offering free advertising and rewards for using the site, people are now realizing the benefits of free ads.

With nearly 2,000 crafters having accounts the site eeks in about 2000 daily visitors as of August 2006.

The site grew quickly when launched due to an extensive direct mail campaign mailing brocheures to tens of thousands of crafters and artists.

The premise of the site was to produce website hosting clients for http://bumblebeeworks.com. It has been more sucessful than any of our other websites at producing hosting clients. An overhaul of the site in July 2006 added a forum and our new rewards program.

More direct mail advertising to reatilers in an effort to help sell the advertised products to small gift shops and specilaty wholesalers. Our commitment is to provide not only a free ad system, but an ad system that produces sales.

Placing ads takes time, and without rewards the users will dry up and leave. But craftersbuzz has produced ample sales and has given many artists the forum they needed to advertise their work.

The site is no ebay. But it is a nice little niche that we enjoy.
