CreatedBy: Uses the World wide web to connect customers with Creative businesses. Our core business is to develop sustainable micro enterprise, so we do our very best to attract visitors to the site and expose them to your products. The rest is up to you. By giving your small business the tools to grow and promote your products your way, CreatedBy: provides a fantastic market place for South African artisans and creative small businesses. Plus you don't share space with anyone, you set your own terms and prices and you style your site to suit you, but as a result of each business promoting their own CreatedBy:Me! Shop themselves (in addition to our own promotions), the whole community benefits from the traffic generated.

It's great to reach such a wide potential customer base, but sometimes you can't beat good ol' fashion Craft In Action, so in addition to your CreatedBy:Me! you can also promote your studio/workshop or even other outlets that sell your product. Your CreatedBy:Me! shop can be linked to other shops, markets or events to help visitors find information on your product and where to go for interactive demonstrations and workshops.
How much does it cost?
Nothing! You can open an online CreatedBy:Me! shop on Created By: and start selling your products for free! We'll even help you make your CreatedBy: Me!shop as effective and efficient as possible. Some optional add-on services are offered at an additional cost and we also have a number of advertising opportunities to help you promote your online business, but this is not a requirement to open a fully functional CreatedBy: e! Shop with us.

Testimonial: I love the Created By: CreatedBy: Me! function and enjoy the benefits it offers small businesses like mine. Firstly, it processes my payments which I can't do through my own website. It also tracks my orders and keeps a tally of my stock which is helpfull for me as a working mum as it really saves me alot of time! I am not brilliant with computers but it is easy to go into the site and change my products and the product details at any time and I am learning so much about online selling. I also love the fact that I am part of a bigger community as I feel that if I get stuck on any aspect of my business I know I can tap into the pool of knowledge and experiences it affords, it stops me from feeling so isolated as a Small Business and is so much fun. I say join, the more who do, the better the site will get.

Created By: Me! has definitely been a smart resource for Brite Beads & Fabrics. For a quickly growing business such as ours, it has provided the perfect platform to show our range on line. It's also been an easy to use ordering facility that is linked to our web page - no need to worry about setting up costly e-commerce. Its easy step-by-step guide makes it simple. Everything has been well thought out on this site - the designers have catered to every business need. These guys are quick to respond to any of our requests too - satisfaction guaranteed! I recommend this site to any prospective business that is seeking exposure on-line. The designers are working with state-of-arts software, always innovative in directing more traffic to the site, which equates to more customers to me!
