A Wish Comes True - Artfire & Amazon Wish List

Artfire never ceased to amazed me! Now you can easily compile a Wish List using Amazon Wish List. Artfire has implemented the Wish List button in every listing :D Read the official announcement below.

Amazon Wish List Option

Members can now add favorite items from ArtFire to an Amazon Wish List with our Universal Wish List button, found on the left of listings (excluding mature items, which are against Amazon’s TOS). This feature puts together a linked list of items from ArtFire that can be emailed to friends and family members. Members should note that there is a minor bug with Amazon regarding the URL, so if you click the Add to Universal Wish List link without being logged in, you will not be redirected to the wish list option on Amazon. We’ve already contacted Amazon about this error, but for now, make sure you’re logged in to Amazon before clicking the link. Wish lists are fun and super easy to make, but in case you need a little help, we’re working on putting together a help guide, which should be posted on the site shortly, so stay tuned!

To use this Wish List button, first you need to have an account in Amazon.com. Sign up or sign in to your account so your wishes will be recorded. Go to your favorite store in ArtFire and start wish listing and let the world know what you've wished for! :D Once you're done, simply send your Wish List through e-mail to your friends and family using the Share button in your Wish List page. Maybe a Wish List for this Christmas or an upcoming baby shower or a wedding! Get only gifts that YOU like.

This is my Wish List, mind you that I'm not done yet ;)

How to Wish List in ArtFire:

1. Find that button in a listing. It's on the left side of every listing picture. Click that button when you found a favorite.

2. After you click that, a pop up window will appear within the listing page (See image below. Click to expand). Enter the price of the item, and hit Add To List button.

3. If you still want to browse for something else, close the Wish List window by hitting the X button on upper right corner.

4. Find the Wish List in your Amazon and share the list to friends and family through e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Click image to expand.

If you have any questions, ask away :)

ArtFire is Now Free for All!

Yes you heard it right. ArtFire now offers unlimited listings for Basic Accounts. As Basic Account holders, you can list everything you have for free, no listing fee, no final sales fee. This promotion is good since today, September 26, 2009 although the promotion is for the month of October.

Here is the sign up page.

ArtFire Gives Away Free Unlimited Listings for the Shopping Season

Everyone gets free unlimited listings for the holidays on ArtFire.com

Tucson, AZ – ArtFire has just announced that they will be giving away unlimited listings completely free for all sellers during the holiday season. This means that everyone can sell and list as many items as they wish for absolutely no cost or fees.

When they first launched, ArtFire revolutionized the handmade marketplace by making it completely free for users to sell online. Site members were able to list and sell up to 12 items at any point on the site, and could have unlimited listings with customizable features for the flat rate of $12/month. However, due to the current economic situation and the upcoming holiday season, ArtFire has decided to remove this 12 item limit for the shopping season, giving everyone on the site the option to list unlimited items for sale.

To make things even easier for sellers, ArtFire has also launched the Etsy Importer, allowing members to import all of their Etsy listings onto ArtFire quickly and easily. To help manage these imported listings, ArtFire is allowing free access for the month of October to their Global Product Editor, which gives sellers the chance to make batch edits to hundreds of products in their inventory at once.

“Regardless of marketplace or venue we’ve found that sellers who list more items have a much greater success online,” said Tony Ford, COO of ArtFire. “We want to give everyone the chance to be successful, and free unlimited listing will help our artisans obtain more sales during the fourth quarter.”

“Many of our sellers are concerned about the shopping season due to economic issues, and cannot afford to promote and advertise as they had last year,” said John Jacobs, CEO of ArtFire. “This Holiday Free for All will allow them to sell more items than ever before completely free.”

This Holiday Free for All Promotion is the first ever of its kind, and expected to completely change the craft marketplace.

A little more Q&A: 

How can ArtFire offer free unlimited listings to everyone?

Charging for a listing has been a staple of e-commerce since the late 90's. However the model is out of date, its costs next to nothing to host a listing. Why should a website charge you to put unique advertising content on their website?

Why would ArtFire do this?

ArtFire believes in artisans in the community. Time and time again they've seen that the single most common factor in a successful online businesses is that they list a lot of items. They want to remove barriers to your success, even if that means free unlimited listings for everyone. They believe that the real benefits of being a pro member go beyond unlimited listing. With the time saving promotional and management tools, tie breakers, benefits and more, why shouldn't they give new sellers the best chance of being successful.
