ArtFire Kiosk on Facebook – Sell to Facebook Users

News of the free Facebook application from ArtFire crafters is spreading quickly among the online handmade community.  But this isn’t the first time ArtFire has thought outside of the box in order to reach more handmade consumers.  ArtFire is currently the only handmade marketplace that offers a widget to members in which items listed in an ArtFire Studio can be placed on third party blog, social media, or other sites.  What’s better, this feature is free for all Basic and Verified members.

ArtFire is back at it again with a new Facebok app.  According to the ArtFire website, verified ArtFire members can now offer their handmade, art, vintage, media, supplies, and design items on Facebook.  This means ArtFire sellers can sell directly on Facebook!

This Facebook app (”ArtFire Facebook Kiosk”) makes selling items directly to buyers on Facebook easy.  The seller’s banner, settings, layout, title and item information port over to a handmade seller’s new Facebook Kiosk automatically.  In fact, when an ArtFire seller makes a change to their handmade item on ArtFire.com, the new information is automatically updated on the Facebook Kiosk.

Our HandmadeMarketing.org team worried about the real-time, fast-paced world of selling online.  How could the two selling venues stay in constant connection, so two of the same art prints are not sold – one on Facebook and one at ArtFire.com.

“When an item sells on ArtFire or from your Facebook Kiosk both your ArtFire Fusion Studio and your Facebook Kiosk are updated in real time,” the ArtFire site read.  “All your order processing is integrated and encrypted for your customers and order fulfillment are handled just like any other sale made on ArtFire; right from your “My ArtFire” control panel.”

This exciting new Facebook application integratesArtFire Fusion Studios with a seller’s Facebook Fan page or Profile page.  Best of all, this is a free tool for ArtFire Verified (Pro Level) members.  Our HandmadeMarketing.org wondered what the hidden costs could be for this type of service.  “Just like on ArtFire, you never pay a listing, insertion, final value, or hidden fee to offer and sell your ArtFire items on Facebook,” the ArtFire website explained.

Our team was excited to hear that this new Facebook application for ArtFire sellers also supports “No Account Checkout”.  The mind of the average Facebook user is at the center of this awesome effort by ArtFire.com to sell more handmade online.  The “No Account Checkout” feature and the idea of bringing handmade directly to the potential buyer is truly a breakthrough for the handmade selling community.

Getting set up with this web tool is simple.  Go to the Facebook Kiosk Install on Facebook.com.  From there, follow the steps and start selling on Facebook to those who love handmade!

What do you think of this new ArtFire feature?  How do you think this can help you sell more handmade online?  Any ideas for other web resouces you would like to see your selling platform take advantage of?
