Bootcamp at iCraft.ca
Today, they are on Day 14 of Bootcamp at iCraft.ca. What is that you say? It’s a ‘Sellers’ Bootcamp’ 28 day marketing programme, headed by ‘Experts’ with backgrounds in sales and marketing, in the form of their very own talented iCraft Creators!
They began a 28 day period with daily assignments designed to encourage Creators to get into the habit of effective and consistent marketing. These assignments were simple ideas with low to no cost methods, and took up only 30 minutes of time daily, with ‘Bootcampers’ reporting back to the community with their daily progress. The assignments are still available for everyone to see here.
There are 55 bootcampers signed up! And, it looks like you can join the fun at any time. Just sign up here.
Take a look of some of the wonderful creations by these bootcampers. A more complete list is available here.

Bootcamp has been so much fun and has also provided a tremendous boost of market activity for our stores. Besides many very talented Artisans with fabulous products, icraft.ca provides a fresh clean style for sellers and buyers alike. Sellers are getting ready to offer up some super “doorcrasher specials” in “Open House” weekends coming soon. Icraft.ca is the place to watch and the place to be seen.

Wow, I’ve learned so much about promotion and selling online from iCraft.ca bootcamp.
It’s been wonderful to have others to chat with about selling and promotion issues, and to keep each other on track!! Like exercising with a buddy!
Indiesmiles sounds like a great place to connect with buyers who are looking for high quality, handmade products! Keep up the good work!

Bootcamp on icraft has kept me motivated to list, advertise, communicate and chat with other crafters. It has provided me with more information about how to do this than I’ve ever had before. It’s a great resource for anyone wanting to improve their sales.
I’ve even updated my blog, shops online and joined twitter!!
I highly recommend it to everyone.

I love creating, but I’m not so good at the business side of things, so bootcamp has been perfect for me. We’ve been introduced to so many new sites for promotion and networking, and there’s always lots of great advice and support. Everyone could use a little more of that!

Knitting is my passion, and I selflessly devote my spare time to creating new things. And of course I was missing the marketing side of a coin. Thank you Bootcamp, thank you iCraft for a given opportunity to catch up with the practical side of life. The advice are so simple and brilliant! I’ve learned a lot, and now I think I can put my new marketing skills into my resume.
Bootcamp is still on, so guys check it out and join us – it’s never too much knowledge and never too many friends!
