The Inside Exclusive |
| "One of the more revealing statistics we keep a close eye on here at ArtFire is the total artisans sales. We have carefully monitored this number and watched it grow every month. As we approach our one year anniversary we can now accurately forecast that our one year total artisan sales will be about $1.5 million dollars. This is a fantastic number for the first year of operation, not to mention a year of economic gloom. To compare this number to our number one competitor, Etsy's first year was just over $150,000 dollars in total artisan sales. Congratulations on the great work everyone. Lets make the next year even better!" |
