What you need to sell your arts and crafts online: Seasonal marketing

 E-commerce for Native American artists & craftspeople webinar series 2022 signature graphic

Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian visual artists and craftspeople face unique challenges with the shift to online sales and continued limits on attendance at local arts and crafts fairs.

This session—a “bonus” session, offered in addition to our monthly series—is designed to assist American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian visual artists in enhancing their marketing plans for seasonal/holiday sales. It will focus on:

  • Setting up “pop-up” markets through social media and from one’s website.
  • Developing and maintaining email lists, an area often overlooked with today’s focus on social media.
  • Techniques for using email lists to generate interest and promote sales.

Additionally, in the spirit of the upcoming holidays, the program will also feature a special recipe or two to help us all to celebrate this time of year.
