Craft Industry Alliance is a community for artists, makers, and creative business owners, with educational resources, events, industry news, and member benefits designed to help creative businesses grow.
Big Cartel recently joined one of CIA’s Virtual New Product Showcases, where Karen from our support team shared how Big Cartel helps independent makers build and run their own online shops.
Watch the showcase
Karen from our support team joined Craft Industry Alliance’s Virtual New Product Showcase to talk about how Big Cartel supports independent artists and makers.
In the session, she covers:
- How Big Cartel gives you your own branded shop and direct relationship with your customers
- Selling physical products, digital products, and print-on-demand items in one place
- Selling in person at markets and events while keeping inventory in sync
- Big Cartel’s straightforward pricing and focus on independent sellers
- How Big Cartel can complement marketplaces like Etsy rather than necessarily replace them
Karen also shares a little about Big Cartel’s approach to human support, AI Shield, and why we’ve stayed independent since 2005.
Heads up: The recording may mention promotional offers that were available to showcase attendees and have since expired.
