How to Sell Handicrafts Online with Profitability
The Internet is an enormous space and with countless eStores at one’s disposal, finding the right one to sell your precious handmade items can be daunting and confounding as well. Good news is that there are online stores which attempt to simplify the entire process by presenting artisans with opportunities to display their works and sell them with minimum effort.
There are several ways to sell your handicrafts online. But, the very first step before selling your art anywhere is to verify the authenticity of your chosen platform or website. Proliferation of online portals have also resulted in scams and fraud. There have been multiple instances where customers have been duped in the name of supporting art and artisans.
That's why it’s important to do the necessary homework and select a trustworthy site where you can pitch your handmade products without worrying about getting your name trashed or used inappropriately. Prepare a check-list of questions and cross-check the same with the site. Here are a few to help you get started.
- How many pin codes does the platform offer for delivery of its products?
- On how many places your listed products will be placed on any available platforms?
- Will you be penalized for order cancellation from your side or product unavailability?
- Are there any technical formalities to be done from your side other than product listing?
- Does the listing platform offer any freebies to its sellers or artisans?
