Turning promotion up to 11!

The last month has seen Coriandr gain some great ground traffic-wise. The release of the Coriandr Seedlings has seen some strong and consistant improvements in daily vistor traffic (over 60% higher on average), with this month’s average reaching almost as high as last month’s peaks!

Since Coriandr’s launch it has been very interesting to see how (and why) other competing marketplaces have developed in the way they have. Whereas other marketplaces marketed heavily from the start, here at Coriandr HQ we focused our intitial efforts very much on developing great shop management features and making sure the underlying technology was solid. Well, that focus is about to change! We’re determined to push those vistor and sales stats through the roof, so from here on in it’s all about marketing and promoting your beautiful creations!

With that in mind, please say hello to Toni Jones, the newest member of our little family! With many years of marketing experience and a real passion for the maverick handmade scene, Toni will be bringing a great deal of know-how to proceedings. She will be getting word out to the national press , building links with other craft networks and helping to co-ordinate Coriandr’s support of real-world craft shows and events.

Continuing in the promotional vein, the majority of our upcoming features and technical improvements are aimed at making it easy for everyone to promote themselves and their favourite shops to the rest of the world. From a long-awaited favourites system to a curation feature that lets you build your very own front page for the site! Check out the forum for more details.
