More sources & ideas

The business cycle for crafters and artisans

Intuit Small Business Report (from 2008) (also see years after)

Handmade Expressions

Does "artisan" mean anything anymore

Merchandisingn Plan Idea

  • Utilize a collaboration between a local artisan, a tastemaker, stylist, or boutique, and MWC to create a special line of products
  • Each collaboration will involve the following:
    • Designer/Artisan (smaller designers) working with a tastemaker/stylist/boutique/blogger/bigger name designer along with MWC to create the protypes for a line of products
    • Products will be handmade by fair trade artisans
  • Collections will launch monthly
  • Other products to fill out the site will be short-run/limited edition from indie designers purchased via wholesale; this collection cycle will turn 6 times/year
