The work is the argument
For anything made by hand, the photographs do the selling. A buyer who likes what they see opens a chat from the same page, which is a much shorter journey than hearing about you and having to go looking.
- Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
- A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
- Your own page with its own web address
Orders that begin as a message
Sizes, quantities and delivery dates are all easier typed than spoken, and the thread keeps the record for both of you when the order runs over several weeks.
- A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
- Customers can leave a rating and a review
Production time is why now matters
Anything made to order has to be produced before it can be sold, so a Black Friday or Christmas order has to be placed weeks ahead. Buyers sourcing for the season are looking now, and they are looking for makers with capacity rather than makers with stock. Being findable during the sourcing window is worth more here than being findable during the selling one, because by then the work is already committed.

Questions
Can I list a workshop rather than a shop?
Yes. Makers and workshops list the same way, under whichever category fits what you produce.
Is there any charge at all?
None, and no commission on orders.
How many photographs can I add?
You can add photographs through the form. For made goods they are the first thing a buyer looks at.
