This is compounded by the Government’s treatment of crafts as a sunset industry, which has resulted in a lack of well-developed policies and programs to protect and strengthen the ecosystem for artisans. Buyers generally follow current trends and buy products accordingly more dependent on machine made products.]]> 2018-09-12 17:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/simran_10352/nixwyo009jvn/wish/280494200 Strategies simran_10352 https://padlet.com/simran_10352/nixwyo009jvn/wish/280498914
1. Online Marketplaces - Selling handmade crafts and goods through social platform is a great way to get traffic to your shop. Marketplaces that are popular will automatically bring potential customers to you.

2. Mixture of old designs and new ones -  Craftsmen these days are bringing in a mixture of old and new designs to strike a balance between the avant-garde and the traditional. Through this mixture of forms of craft, the traditional handicraft industry has more hope for shining.

Conduct Workshops - Workshops can help artisans eradicate the communication gap between the two representations of society and bring in a better understanding of demand and supply. It also initiates traditional art awareness.

4. Understanding the Global Market - 
To keep the traditional craft alive, it is important for artisans to understand how trade fairs work and participate in the same with an all round understanding of the profit and loss and pros and cons involved in the global market.
