The “Faire” Way To Sell | Jannalyn Bailey | Episode 883

Curious Clay, founded by Jannalyn Bailey, was born out of an intensive really like of the handmade sort and the motivation to make attainable artwork objects. As a former painter, the existence of the artist’s hand in Jannalyn’s is effective is pretty significant to her. Both the clay form and the glaze application retains the gesture from Jannalyn’s hand.

When you get included with a faire, it’s an application system you don’t just indication up and do it?

Yes. Like I said, I used two or 3 times and I was denied all the times. The way that I essentially obtained on there was that a keep in Georgia requested that I be there. So when a retail outlet requests that you as a brand name be there you are an automated shoe in I guess.

For the acquiring facet do they have to have to go by way of an application procedure also?

I never know. I imagine that they vet everyone and make confident they are a brick and mortar and not an individual who is hoping to do affordable Xmas purchasing. And then if it is a shop that is on line only that is a massive marker on their profile website page. You can also reject orders on there if I do not want my things to be offered on a website only platform I can say that this is not a good match.

How are you essentially found by other individuals?

I think it is just browsing all over scrolling by web pages of pottery. There may possibly be some tags but I am fully unfamiliar with the purchasers facet. As I maker I simply cannot really simply click all around and see other maker’s choices incredibly quickly.

So you just cannot see how substantially other people today are offering their wares for?

I feel I can if I were to log out and go on to the Faire site just as a browser, you know, any person who is seeking all around on my have, but I cannot navigate absent. Not that I know of.

Did you value your do the job upwards to compensate for the value of performing business with Faire?

Yeah, and I have had to elevate costs for a selection of reasons. Partly because there are additional people today functioning for me now. Partially simply because transport supplies price an arm and a leg to even get to my door. The price tag of electricity, the price tag of clay, I did move absent from an place in Pennsylvania that had a ceramic offer retail outlet that made available a really hefty selling price breaks at certain weights of clay and my present-day clay provider isn’t capable to do that.

Who pays for the delivery?

The retailer or if the retailer is a Faire insider, which I believe is a month to month rate of a hundred and a thing bucks then Faire addresses the retailer shipping. So if a retail store does a lot of purchasing on Faire it truly behooves them to be an insider. I under no circumstances pay back for transport. I fork out for shipping and delivery materials and if you want to insert a packing payment to offset your price tag of delivery materials.

Does the shipping and delivery program Faire utilizes enable you to use the free of charge packing containers from the US postal service? Precedence mail?

So when you punch in the bodyweight and the dimensions it populates UPS, FedEx, and USPS and it provides you three price ranges and recommends. What box you put in it doesn’t actually make any difference. I am in no way delivery in anything more compact than a 13 inch dice. You have an choice on Faire to make your possess label and then you have to upload the price of that label as perfectly as the tracking number and then they reimburse you.

What is the most desirable issue of working with Faire?

It is just the reach. I mean my perform at this point has long gone to Germany, England, it goes to Canada all the time. And the U.S, I suggest I don’t want to say I am in all fifty states but I’m quite darn near.
