Hello Folksy Sellers! Shop Front is a new series of articles from the Folksy Blog that we hope will become a valuable resource for sellers looking to develop their Folksy shops and make the best of this busy handmade market place.

Folksy is a thriving community of buyers and sellers of quality handmade goods and crafting supplies. Each member of Folksy can create their own shop front, where they can display items, add a shop banner and write up a profile. However, as with a real life handmade craft market a seller needs to know how to attract these customers into their shops in order to sell!
