Find Handmade in Newcastle

Selling handmade in Australia

Selling handmade in Australia is all about doing the hard yards and spending time facing a markets stall.  I've met many wonderful and talented people who are able to combine their artistic flair with the natural chutzpah to front a market stall.  But what if you don't want to front your own stall and spend your weekends spruiking your wares?

For sure you can keep selling with etsy and madeit – but nothing rivals the control and freedom of having your own online storefront.

No longer is the dream to create your own designs and one day open a shopfront in the high street – going forward the next step is opening an online store and selling in front of a global audience.

Let Organic Digital work with you a have your own wordpress online e-commerce solution working for your brand.  You can be up and running from as little as $1500 – AND we offer regular workshops where you can learn face to face how to manage and edit your own wordpress website.

Our mission to to build lasting relationships with you and stallholders like you across the artisan and handmade niche and empower you to take full creative and management control of your online presence.  You too can learn the skills to take control and be confident selling online, and Organic Digital is here to help you achieve that.

Olive Tree Market Newcastle

Olive Tree Markets,
Junction Public School,  Newcastle,
New South Wales, Australia.

Now we all know of the Olive Tree Markets and how, over the years, it has established an enviable reputation for designer handmade arts and crafts.

And here's why - It is hands down the friendliest, most open and approachable Markets Stallholders Event I have had the pleasure of reviewing.

Just talking to the stall holders and taking the time to listen to their personal stories is what it is all about.

The Stallholders are lovely and open and share their story about each product they have handcrafted, and are only too willing to offer advice and contribute to making your buying decision easier.

Newcastle Digital Evolution

Sometimes just switching gears and going for a walk or doing something completely different is extremely effective in focusing your mind on the task at hand.  Just like poring over your new website for hours analysing all the detail to see what you can do to make it bounce more. 

Well, there is a name for this and there is a process to measure and record the effectiveness of your website – it’s called split testing, where two alternate options are given in real time to visitors to your site.  They either choose A or B and once you have a reliable sample of visitors, you can track and record just where you are doing things right and what can be improved.

Split testing is a measureable way of keeping tabs on your website and proving whether certain approaches to marketing and promotions are effective. 

At Newcastle Digital, we like to test your site so it does not become a “Billboard in the Desert” with a single lost traveller stumbling by each week – which is nice and pretty but not much use in raking in extra turnover. 

You want visitors, converted into customers so each morning when you check your email you have a few nice paypal payments and some orders to ship.
