If you're looking for your first (or new) home for your eCommerce website - you need to tune in, because this episode is just for you!

Today we’re talking about a new eCommerce platform ONLY for handmade creators that offers options not available anywhere else.

I say they’re new but they have solid experience under their belt from the last two years of startup and growth.

So, what should pique your interest? First, Jon is serious about keeping this marketplace only for true handmade creators. Nobody slips in who’s producing from a factory or justifies “handmade” when in truth it isn’t.

The goimagine Marketplace is affordable, provides you direct access and ownership of your customers’ contact information, and promises to stay focused on makers!

Almost too good to be true, right? Well, I’ll one up even what I’ve said here.

You know you should have a website of your own, too – perhaps in addition to another outside-owned eCommerce site like Etsy or Amazon? One with your own domain name, smooth setup and control, and reliable functionality? Goimagine has the solution for this too. All in one place.

Jon Lincoln is the founder of goimagine, the handmade marketplace that’s donating 100% of profits to help children in need. This new marketplace concept is following in the footsteps of other great companies such as Newman's Own and Patagonia by building philanthropy into the fabric of the business.

Since launching in 2020, goimagine has attracted thousands of makers & artists throughout the United States supporting their mission to create a more caring economy through handmade.

This year, goimagine is adopting a shared ownership model where the vendors on the marketplace are given ownership in the company including voting rights and board representation.

It’s with the support of the maker community that goimagine continues to grow and they feel it’s only right the makers are given a ‘seat at the table’ when decisions are being made.
