Still Planning for Change to a Functioning Selling Website

Can't believe almost a year has gone by since that last post - I have hesitated to add new content as we have been always a short way away from getting the website going. BUT obviously that hasn't yet happened.

In the meantime, I have had it confirmed that we in the Caribbean, cannot use Paypal without a US bank account, so it makes it much more difficult for us to sell online. We're working on affordable solutions and I am encouraged to get this going by the comments readers have been leaving saying how much they want to buy items from some of the artists represented here.

I'd like to ask everyone who really, genuinely would like to do that, to leave a comment - if you can identify the person who's work you're interested in, even better, but if not, still comment and give me as much info as you can.

You can also use the Contact Us button on the right if you'd like to leave some details and be emailed when a site is up...or just subscribe to RSS or follow this blog.

Thanks for stopping by - let's hope your shopping for Caribbean gifts will soon be a reality.

Cheers

Finola

Arts & Crafts Village is Changing

We're going Caribbean wide!

In the coming weeks and months we'll be making BIG changes

• We'll be adding lots of new Caribbean creative people to the blog
•  
• We'll be putting up a full website with shopping capability
• 
  
• We'll be integrating the Caribbean Creatives Cafe community with the Website and Blog
• 
  
• We know through our own experience that it's difficult to make a mark online by yourself, but we also know that there's so much to be gained by having an effective online presence...

So we decided to offer a collaborative project so that we can all benefit from a bigger web presence.

• You can take part if you have your own website-even if you already have your own shopping on your site. 
•  
• You can take part if you have no website - even if you only make small amounts of items. 
•  
• Once you are serious about wanting to sell, expand your horizons, build connections - TALK TO US!
  
•  
• All Caribbean Creatives are welcome - Arts, Crafts, Gifts, Music, Packaged Foods, Books, Fashion, Accessories - you name it!

We're doing all this so that Caribbean Creatives - ourselves included - can establish business online and build online contacts for customers, suppliers, collaborations, activities, promotion.

JOIN US TODAY!

If you are interested, drop us a line using the Contact Form, tell us a little about yourself and we'll get back to you with more information.

In the meantime - pop on over to Caribbean Creative Cafe and join there - add some photos of your products or work in progress, tell us about yourself, look at the discussions, perhaps add to the Barter Box...See You There!
