I know that some of you are using craft fairs and other local events to sell your merchandise.
Today I’ll introduce you to a website where you can sell your goods to local buyers. But before I let the cat out of the bag, let me say that it’s 100% free. (So do it, do it, do it.)
For the uninitiated amongst us, that website is Craigslist.
Craigslist is one of the most popular classified ad websites in the world.
There are dozens of cities represented in Craigslist. And each city website has a For Sale section, where you are free to list clothing, jewelry and accessories.
It’s important that you choose your home city when listing on Craigslist. If you attempt to list the same ad in multiple cities, all of your ads will be deleted.
Furthermore, people who shop the For Sale section on Craigslist really are seeking a local seller. They don’t want to buy anything and have it shipped.
If you wanted to, you could basically list every new product you come out with.
If you’re doing a craft fair, Craigslist is also good for announcing your presence.
For sellers outside of the United States, Kijiji has a similar established following. In fact, Kijiji recently announced that they’re open for US ads as well.
