Gold Leaf Craft Mall
The Gold Leaf Craft Mall is a unique online opportunity for home crafters interested in opening their own business. Gold Leaf uses a format similar to that of a standard shopping mall with individual stores owned by separate people. Gold Leaf provides you with all the tools to build your own online store and sell your crafts.
Gold Leaf Craft Mall operates as a manager for your online business. You will pay a fee for their services. Based on the fee you pay, Gold Leaf will offer you specific services. Fees begin at five dollars a month for the most basic plan. This is great for the new business person. The five dollar fee will allow you to open your store and sell up to fifteen items.
The fees increase for each level. The highest is the Platinum level where you display up to one hundred and sixty products for thirty dollars a month. As your business grows you may want to include other items in your store and you always have the option of upgrading with no penalties. Some store owners sell items on commission from their crafting friends to add to their inventory.
There are several advantages to opening a Gold Leaf store to sell your craft items. You will be in complete control of all of your orders. Customers pay you, not Gold Leaf, through your store. Gold Leaf has many modules to walk you through setting up your store and creating a checkout page in order to accept credit card payments. With the money coming straight to you there are no commissions taken out by Gold Leaf and your money will immediately show up in your account.
In addition to helping you create your check out page Gold Leaf will help you design your entire store. You will be able to design and create a stunning and professional storefront to catch the eye of potential customers. Gold Leaf offers many pre-designed templates you can use to create a page reflecting you and your product.
You will also be creating a profile page. Your profile page is your introduction to your customers. It is important to make it interesting and let your customers know your story. Let them know how you started crafting and why you opened your own Gold Leaf store. Everyone has interesting stories about their crafts and this is the place to share them. Allowing you customers to get a glimpse of your life will help create a bond them and hopefully they will return to buy more. An especially interesting story might cause a customer to email your link to everyone she knows. Your compelling story will have just started a word of mouth email marketing campaign!
Include beautiful photos of your product in your store. All photos should accurately represent your product and show it from many angles. Your photo is the only way your potential customer will get to know your product. Making an eye-catching storefront with fantastic photos will really kick start your new business.
