Great Craft Malls & Galleries Websites


Dogwood Crafters
Nestled in the quaint small town of Dillsboro, NC; Dogwood Crafters is a crafting cooperative where over 80 artisans and their items are showcased. As you browse through each of the shop's themed rooms, no one artist is featured as all mediums and materials are displayed together by theme or color. Items are of the finest quality as all members of the co-op must be juried prior to participating. With strict residency requirements, shoppers are sure to find local items at some of the best prices to be found.

Craft Malls & Galleries Crafty Tip

Editor's Comment: I happened to find this shop one recent Saturday. This shop has only the finest quality of hand-made items. It is housed in what used to be several small cabins and the numerous windows and woodwork make it very inviting. The natural lighting allows visitors to see the high level of workmanship and materials used. The shop is 100% staffed by the members of the co-op who have items for sale. Prices were among the best we've seen; nothing was overpriced - we highly recommend that this shop should be added to your Christmas shopping list!

Dillsboro is a small town with several blocks of shops and restaurants. Located just up the road from Western Carolina University, Waynesville, about 1 1/5 hours from Biltmore House in Asheville, and maybe an hour from the Cashiers/Highlands/Sapphire Valley resort areas; be sure to add a visit to Dogwood Crafters and Dillsboro to your next trip.

Craft Malls & Galleries Crafty Tip

How can you increase your craft sales?

There are millions of crafts that are being sold online. You know best how your product is different from others offer. You want to make sure that you have a few items you're constantly making sure are done properly and done right.

1. Take your time and get the best photographs of your products. Try shooting in different lights, outdoors and be creative in the composition. Pictures are the window to your online store--- since consumers can't physically hold the items, they'll need to see as many details as they can in your pictures.

2. Provide free tutorials. This is an easy way to show others the quality and efforts you put into making the products that you sell. You don't have to give away all your business and creative secrets-- find a way to share a little bit of what you know. People will be so grateful and they'll come to you often to buy and learn.

3. Promos & Give-aways. Participate or organize your own give-aways and promotions to boost your online presence. There are some easy marketing tools that can help spread the word about your business during promotions. You should do about 4-6 promotions a year.
