Artists and Design Minded Individuals, Check Out ETSY!
Berkshire Creatives, you don’t need a physical storefront to sell your handmade goods. The advent of online marketplaces designed specifically for the buying & selling of all things handmade, such as Etsy, enables designers, artists and aritsans to sell their goods, wares and works of art to buyers around the corner and across the globe.
Etsy’s mission is to enable people to make a living making things, and to reconnect makers with buyers. Their vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice: Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade. Since it’s launch in June, 2005, over 100,000 sellers from around the world have opened up Etsy shops.
