American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian visual artists and craftspeople faced unique challenges with the shift to online sales and limits on attendance at local arts and crafts fairs. This free webinar showed how to develop and expand your e-commerce presence.
This program was the second in a series of monthly webinars held throughout 2022. It featured speakers from the private and public sectors who have extensive experience in the business of selling Native American arts and crafts.
During this program, speakers explored the various options that Native American visual artists and craftspeople can consider for sales of their arts and crafts, including:
- Online directories
- E-commerce sites for artisans
- Online auction sites
- Setting up an online store
