CRAFTfest is back!
We are delighted to
announce that the fourth CRAFTfest
will be held from
Saturday 9th June – Saturday 16th June 2012 at Creative Connections.
Ever fancied being a seller at a craft fair, but
never had the opportunity to take part due to family commitments, travel, or
costs?
Well, now you can!
At
Creative Connections, we are hosting our Fourth CRAFTfest on
the 9th June 2012 for ONE WHOLE WEEK.
The
idea of CRAFTfest is
to showcase sellers using interactive albums, 'your stall', which allows your
sellers to browse and purchase items through an interactive link in your
product descriptions, 'your voice'.
You can
sit behind your computer screen, and sell interactively to your sellers through
Creative Connections chat room, Facebook, Twitter, and many other social
networking sites.
CRAFTfest
is a week- long event, running all day, every day, so wherever in the world you
may be, the fest is open to the public 24/7. CRAFTfest
t is held on the Creative Connections Network, which is a friendly community of
online crafters. The social network itself was established in August 2009 and
now has members from all over the world.
Are you interested in
a stall?
If you would like to participate in CRAFTfest and host your own stall during the week we
have our own dedicated website and booking for you.
Due to the huge amount of work involved in
hosting CRAFTfest there will
be a small stall charge of £5 for the CRAFTfest June 2012 event.
This money will go towards site and admin costs.
By
purchasing a stall at CRAFTfest you
will also be supplied with:
·
A digital flyer that you can post on the Internet
and also print at home to put up in offices/schools etc.
·
Various badges for blogs, Facebook pages etc.
·
Free advertising on stall lists, Twitter, Facebook
etc, membership to an advertising group where you can get together with other
Crafters and promote each other and the event.
·
The opportunity to create your own CRAFTfest stall
on the Creative Connections Social Network linking customers to your products
wherever they may be on the Internet. (Please note that only confirmed stalls
will be permitted. All unauthorised stalls will be removed).
A little about CRAFTfest
We were one of the first online craft fairs, and CRAFTfest isn’t
just a virtual online craft fair! The main difference with CRAFTfest to
other craft fairs is that it is a community experience. The whole event is
hosted on our Crafters Social Network; we are not just about uploading items to
your stall and trying to sell things. We are about the bigger picture, making
friends, interacting with other crafters, people who understand your passion,
and your craft. We are about having fun in the forums and chatting in the chat
room, exchanging tips, learning new ideas and speaking to other crafters that
have years, months or weeks of experience. We can all learn something new from
other people doing the same as us, running a business by ourselves and trying
to make a living from crafting.
