Hi all,
The class has a great start on our market project. As I mentioned in class last week, we will continue our making, while discussing practical matters and planning. We will meet this week as normal, but may be able to move to another studio.
There are a couple of websites I'd like you to check out. Etsy and My Craft Portal (Irish only) are intended for inspiration and competitor analysis. Vertex 42 is an excellent source for free online downloads of excel spreadsheets and budgeting advice. We'll discuss these in class as well.
Etsy: Global Handcraft Marketplace
My Craft Portal
Vertex 42
Remember to document relevant competitor details - the designer/maker, the type of product, materials and techniques used, target market, purchase price. I will be giving you a handout in class on Monday to guide you through this process.
See you all then....
