The Report Button: Why, How, and When to Use It

In this post, we explain why you should report problems when you find them, explain what happens after you submit your report, and answer your frequently-asked questions to the handmade policy enforcement system.

Our Marketing Plan

In this post, we’ll share our basic marketing plan, particularly in light of our members’ decision to bootstrap our funding without seeking seed capital from big investors. We’ll cover the marketing basics: what it is and who it’s for, our competitive strategy, and our marketing channels. 

Why Membership Matters

When it comes to cooperative ownership, we’re asking everyone to take a bet on a collective vision and make an investment in a shared future. Even with a minimum contribution of $10USD, we recognize this is NOT a small ask. That’s why in this post we’re going to make the business case for Artisans Cooperative.

Introducing Our Member Proposals Program

One of the key benefits of being a member-owner of Artisans Cooperative is the ability to submit proposals to the Coop. In this post, we’ll introduce our Member Proposals Program.
