Ideas to sell online
I thought I'd share some great places for new designers to sell online. It's a great way to start and get some presence...
Made it : buy, sell and talk independent
Made it is an online community where you can buy, sell and talk independent with other designers. This is an Australian website and a great way to get going with your designs as its open to everyone.
Leeloo : treasures from emerging Australian designers and artists.
This site has put together a range of one-off's and exclusives. The best bit about being a stockist for Leeloo is that they buy wholesale - not consignment!
Modamuse : independent Australian and NZ designer gifts.
This is a great collection of unique pieces, and you have to be invited by them to stock. All items are sold based on consignment but this gets a great international audience.
Georgielove : the first Australian website to sell Australian independent.
This site is filled with a mix of energy, eclectic, funky and beautiful pieces with most items not being found in stores elsewhere. I'm not sure if this is consignment or wholesale but there are lot of fun things!
Dawanda : unique things and creative people.
From Germany, this site sells in Euros. You can upload items in English, German and French - but they don't recommend you do unless you really know your languages! This is based on paying a % on sales, but at the moment its free to upload items.
And of course, etsy.
The largest online handmade store, US based and billions of items loaded constantly. This is great to check out but very competitive. You pay % for sales so you get to keep most of your money, but selling your items in US dollars. I think it's 20¢ US to upload each item as well.
So there you have it, there are probably more out there - but that is a good start!
