Loading ...Free Publicity for Rural Craft Businesses
Are you a rural crafter, artist or maker that struggles to sell your work at small craft fairs or locally?
A UK web design company, Craftsman Web Design, are going to embark on a tour of England, Wales and Scotland to visit crafters and artists, such as you.
Roseanna Wyatt, co-owner of Craftsman Web design, said “The aim is to stop off at crafters and makers along the way and take photos of the work we see, and put it onto the travel diary on our Web site and blog as we go along.”
The “Great British Craft Tour” will give free publicity to countryside crafters, makers and artists that Roseanna and her partner, Tjobbe Andrews, visit on the tour.
“We want to visit as many crafters as we can during the tour, we don’t really have a timescale but think it could take anywhere up to a month! We asked around and have got the use of a classic VW Camper Van for the duration, we have our laptop and our plastic cutlery and are ready to go!” said Roseanna.
“We are securing a lot of publicity for this, not only will crafters know about it but the people who attend craft fairs will hear about the tour via their local newspapers, radio stations and other Web sites and media outlets” Tjobbe adds.
Tjobbe says they are looking for suggestions as to where to visit along the way, “We will gladly drop by where we are invited by crafters, if someone wants to show us their work then we will certainly consider stopping off, we will come round, take some pictures, have a chat about their work and add it to our Web site.”
To get involved or recommend a stop off for them please visit their website www.thegreatbritishcrafttour.co.uk and their tour is due to start in late summer 2008. If you would like them to stop by and feature your work, simply go to their Web site and click the links to the tour.
