We did it! @coopartisans not only made our first goal for the summer but doubled it in one month!! We are so thankful for all the help from our members and we couldn't have done it without you! #JoinArtisans #GrowtheCoop #etsyalternative #handmade

If you have talked to me or seen any social media posts from me in the last year then you have heard of Artisans Cooperative. We started last year with the #EtsyStrike coming together because we knew there was a better way. In May of 2023 we started our Capital compaign; in 2 months we have gained 133 members, 300 email subscribers, and $33k. Our goal initially was 100 members, 800 email subscribers, and $25k but seeing how excited people were to join us we made some stretch goals AND WE ARE ALMOST THERE! We have 7 days left of our capital campaign, 7 days to get another 500 email subscribers, and another $17k.
Here's why you should join: first and foremost as a member you will receive dividends once the co-op is making money, second members help make decisions within the co-op (1 member = 1 vote), third as a member you will have lower commission fees (founding members: 6.5%, members, members: 8%, non-members: 9.5%) for the first two years. There are NO listing fees, NO monthly fee: just the membership buy-in and the commission rate.
In order to make this goal I need your help! If you can't join, donate, if you can't donate then share this post. artisans.coop
