Designers Wanted
Please be sure to read “ATTN: All Designers Whose Interest Was Peaked by “Designers Wanted” Article” which is an important follow-up to this article.
The venture briefly known as Designs on Demand (and referred to hereafter in this article as DKR) is currently seeking designers who wish to market their designs through them. This could be a wonderful solution for designers who don’t have the time (or expertise) to create or manage their own website storefronts because DKR provides and handles the storefront operation. This allows you the opportunity to stay focused on the fun part — the actual designing!
In addition, it’s a super way to introduce your designs to customers who might not otherwise ever find you. That’s because, especially when they are able to do so from the comfort of their own homes, and even in their pajamas, stitchers will take the time to look through everything DKR has to offer. And when we stitchers don’t recognize a designer’s name, it’s like finding opportunity wrapped up in pretty paper with a bow — we can hardly wait to find out what beautiful treat may be in store for us! If you market your designs through DKR, stitchers don’t have to know your name to find you, as would be needed in a brick and mortar shop, or to do an online search for you.
DKR will also be a boon for stitchers because they will specialize in instant gratification, otherwise known to the stitching world as charts in .PDF format (requiring only Adobe Acrobat’s free reader) which are downloaded by the customer immediately after payment is completed. Although they do not consider themselves open and ready for business yet, there are already over 70 designs available on the site, including 15 patterns exclusive to DKR.
Designers already signed up include The Art of Stitching, Deanna’s Designs, Rick’s Charts, and Stitch a Painting — definitely good company who will draw lots of customers!
If you are a designer interested in joining this terrific group of designers, please email support@designsondemand.org in order to get more information.
