Today Kristen and I hit the Moscow Farmers Market and tried to sell some CraftSites. Overall, it was a really positive experience. I met a lot of vendors and got ten or eleven leads on new customers.
As I had suspected, most of the vendors were at least interested in having a website. Some are intimidated by the technological knowledge needed to set up such a site. Others simply don’t have the time to make crafts and maintain an online presence.
This makes me think that CraftSites has chosen a great target market. If we can take the guesswork out of website design and management, the artists will have more time to devote to their products.
Now comes the hard part. We have to sit tight and wait for the new contacts to get back to us. Hopefully some of them will become customers!
