Trying another sales portal, this time on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CraneHanaDesigns
I’m conflicted about Etsy. They’re the best game in town for many crafters. They’ve made some colossal blunders in the past, and I feel terrible for them that the only way they can save the company now is at the cost of their allegedly benevolent company ethos.
I say ‘allegedly’ because many of those blunders involved touting themselves as a ‘handmade item’ portal, while allowing some of the worst of the buy-sell trade to dominate many of their categories. Buuutt…Etsy took itself public, and now pays the price with stockholders who don’t actually give a damn about ethics.
Maybe they…and we…can strike a balance between Return-on-Investment and the love of skilled handmade work.
We’ll see.
