On this entertaining thread about comically bad on-line craft products for sale, I suggested that Mumsnet could provide a regular place where members (only) could promote their homemade goods for sale online.
1.There is a lot of talent among members that they would like to share and many of us would like to know about;
- Selling homemade products online is an avenue used by a lot of at-home parents to provide an income and yet allow childcare, and so is something that MN should support.
I recognise that a regular marketplace is a huge endeavour in itself and therefore, not something Mumsnet would want to take on. However, the chance simply to show what they do on a limited basis, with a link to the actual selling site, would still be a great opportunity for MN makers. I'm suggesting a thread to post pictures of products, with any actual sales being required to take place off MN on the maker's usual website or Facebook page.
Would you consider doing this e.g. bi-annually: in October or November, for the Christmas market, and again in, say, April?
