Run by Experienced Crafters
Here at the Creative Craft Centre we care about our renters. We ourselves are crafters and sell our goods in our shop too. We wanted to share our experiences and expertise with you and help you to succeed in the world of selling your passion too. We always look after your goods like they are our own and display them to the best of our ability. We don't charge high rents, commission or have tie in periods because we've been there, done that and bought the t-shirt and know it can be hard to start a new craft business. We want to help you start making that dream a little bit easier and make a real go of it. We really do care about our renters!
UNBOXING/SHELF REVEAL VIDEO!!
Our renters get a video of us revealing what they have sent/brought us. We upload these to all our social media sites including here on our website. They get hundreds of views and are talked about so often. We have visitors come to the shop for the first time just because they have seen our videos and have wanted to see more of the shop. We've become quite famous!
