Artfire and Thank you Catnip Studio!!

What a SWEET DEAL!! I am so excited about a new buying and selling venue that I have just joined a few days ago called ARTFIRE! I have to tell you that the more that I navigate the site, the more excited I get!! Right now they have a SUPER SWEET DEAL! It is important that you know that this offer is only good for the first 5000 people who sign up. As of this posting that 5,000 limit is decreasing every single day, so if you are interested JUMP IN before you loose the opportunity!! You can sign up for a Verified Artfire Account for $7 per Month FOR LIFE as long as you keep your verified account active! When the offer expires the cost for the verified account is $20 per month. So hurry if you are interested!

You get UNLIMITED LISTINGS, NO LISTING FEES, NO RENEWAL FEES, NO COMMISSION FEES, NO SALES FEES!! JUST $7.00 PER MONTH FOR LIFE!! Okay, now that is great all on it own, but let me tell you some other things that really that really impressed me!

Artfire has made a commitment to advertise! They state that they are budgeting between 7 and 10 MILLION DOLLARS on advertising costs in the next 12 months!!!!!! Now I don't know about you, but that really impressed me! Looks like they want to make ARTFIRE a household name!! They have already locked up on the back cover of CRAFT magazine for the next TWO Years! And they are all over the web too with ads on Faceboo, Google, arts and crafts webzines and lots of blog sites as we all help spread the word!! And get this as a verified member you can even link to your Etsy store on every item and they will even help you track the traffic!!! There are also Social Bookmarking Tools where you can list an item and upload it to lots of places like Twitter, Facebook, Google, Kaboodle, StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious, Technorati, Yahoo Bookmarks, MySpace, Propeller and MANY other social bookmarking sites! That really helps to get your name out there!!!

I love it that you can decide to have a sales for let's say.... 20% off for a certain period of time as one of the features and not have to mark down each item and then mark it back up when the sale is over. NO!!!!! You just use the feature and Artfire's system does that automatically for you!! Makes having a sale SUPER EASY!!

And listing your items is super easy too!! They have a ONE PAGE LISTING FEATURE! And get this....... you can feature 10 PHOTOS OF EACH OF YOUR ITEMS! !!! No extra cost for that either!!
