Hello Chicago Crafters –
It’s nearly time for the Chicago Craft
Mafia’s networking night, The Craft Racket, on Tuesday, July 26. As
always, our Rackets are free and open to all crafters.
We're very
excited to have a guest presenter for this summer's Racket. Jennifer
Rapp Peterson of IndieMade will demonstrate how fast you can get your
business online and ready to accept sales and connect with customers.
Jennifer
will set up a complete website from scratch in 30 minutes using
IndieMade’s technology. If you bring a laptop and content, you can test
drive the software free for 30 days.
IndieMade offers creative
entrepreneurs complete websites with an integrated blog, shopping cart,
galleries, calendar and social media integration all in one place, on a
custom URL (
www.yourname.com).
Instead of managing a separate blog, store and portfolio site,
IndieMade gives it all to you on your own website, under one roof.
IndieMade websites are not widget-based, they are
search-engine-friendly, built in 2 minutes, and come with an easy-to-use
dashboard to upload and manage your content and your sales. They don’t
take a percentage of sales, all of this functionality is included in the
hosting package.
We hope you’ll join us for an evening of
learning, socializing, talking shop, and sharing a snack or two with
your fellow crafters at Beans & Bagels on Montrose!
