Making inventory count.
Finding Just the right product for that display in your store can be difficult. Not only is aesthetics important, marketability is paramount. One thing that sets our industry apart from all the others is that tangible handmade quality in the products we sell. Craft buyers typically define crafts as having evidence of the hand forming process, or as being unique and one of a kind. Clay decor items can accomplish both marketing and aesthetic objectives and are a popular addition to galleries around the country. According to a recent article by Pamela J. Brown, Ph.D2 clay objects ranked #2 in popularity at 19% of total store inventory in fine craft galleries. In my experience there are some good reasons for clay's popularity. People are attracted to the warmth and texture of fired earth. They instinctively gravitate to what they believe took the most time to make, and view clay objects as being beyond there scope of endeavor. Because there lives are inundated by mass produced pottery they know the difference between it and a handmade ceramic object without the need to ask. Adding functional pottery, ceramic wall decor or clay jewelry to your inventory is a sure fire way to instill the certain knowledge that everything in your store is handmade. That belief can help create an ambiance that turns casual browsers into loyal customers.
