New online showcase highlights one-of-a-kind creations, fostering community between artists/crafters and buyers
HASLET, Texas, Sept. 8, 2009 — It's a good day when an artist can sell a piece of work and make a little profit. But it's an even better one when an artist can make the sale and keep all the profit.
Now, that's more than possible thanks to TrendyIndie.com (http://www.trendyindie.com), a new online community-driven marketplace that caters specifically to connecting independent artists with discerning shoppers. A showcase for progressive creativity, TrendyIndie.com is where shoppers can find unique handmade items, such as jewelry, ceramics, pet goods, housewares, baby presents, wedding accessories, holiday gifts, and much, much more. Considering that everything on TrendyIndie.com is one-of-a-kind, customers can buy products that they wouldn't normally find in today's traditional retail setting or mall. The diversity of goods, coupled with such a wide range of artists, makes for an exceptionally fresh, appealing shopping experience.
"As an artist myself, I wanted a place to sell my art and products that was both user- and profit-friendly," says Whitney Huntzinger, founder of TrendyIndie.com. "The site needed to be compelling so people would want to come back time and time again, which is why the focus is on showcasing the independent artist and crafter community. Also, I wanted a way to have a simple, effective website, supported within a greater community of artists and consumers who appreciate the role of today's independent artists and crafters. This is yet another feature TrendyIndie.com offers its sellers, who are so busy creating that they typically don't have lots of time to be handling the intricacies of ecommerce."
Using TrendyIndie.com's complimentary website design, it's easy for sellers to set up shop within just a day's time. This saves time and money, making the promotion of goods to a global marketplace highly feasible. TrendyIndie.com doesn't take a percentage of profits, either. Vendors simply pay a $5, $10 or $20 usage fee, depending on a pre-specified selling level. Plus, forums foster a chance for them to discuss trade tips, show off work and obtain free professional advice.
Moreover, TrendyIndie.com is a big hit with buyers, particularly those who want to know their money is going directly to an artist or crafter, instead of a corporation. Some of the sellers are work-at-home moms who are trying to balance family lives with careers. For people who want to support those who have made this professional choice, TrendyIndie.com is the place to go, not to mention that purchases of custom-made crafts and artworks can be completed quickly and easily from the comfort of home.
