Native American Arts & Crafts Business
Online Busimess Opportunities
Online Business Opportunity - Native American Art
Our interest in Native American arts and crafts developed soon after we arrived in New Mexico, USA in 1971. We visited trading posts, frequently attended the Crown Point Navajo Rug Auction and learned a lot.
In the past the only way to profit from our collections would have been to start a business where we could buy and sell our treasures. Since we had other jobs and we not excited about the requirements of building a retail sales business, we never did that.
Now our collections and the stories of how we found them becomes the basis for starting a small online business. By building websites where we can publish pictures of our collections and tell stores about them we have the potential to:
- High grade our collections by selling some items online
- Increase our net from sales by eliminating the fees charged by sales venues
- Sell stock photos of our items to people who want to make up note and greeting cards for gifting.
- Sell advertising to complimentary businesses.
