Earlier today we were moments away from the heart of Cranky Yellow. Inside, no rx everything (all the drama and nonsense of this damned thing) can boil down to numbers. Numbers run it all! The ups and the downs + good and bad. It is all a statistic.
If I combine my history, statistics and advice with yours we can better track growth and progress. Together we can tell a deeper tale of the state of small, local, self-producing economies. Queue in a recent project spark by two nifty STL crafters!
Introducing a ground-breaking Indie Craft Stats Project – for the Curious Craftepreneur! CRAFT BY NUMBERS!
NOW collecting monthly surveys on various topics regarding everything from crafter demographics to production methods and advertising venues. Etiquette and trends. That sort of thing. The giant database of craftormation will be be available in future installments on their website.
The collected information will only be used for good! A resource for the crafting community. Open data to utilize in drawing conclusions and monitoring various areas of art and craft business.
They have just released the first survey and invite all artists and crafters working locally and nationally to submit their response and data. The more contributors, the larger the crafterconomy picture!
GO TAKE THE SURVEY NOW! DUH!
