Первый вопрос, который стоит перед каждым мастером, решившим продавать свои изделия ручной работы, это – где найти покупателей? Каждый выбирает свою стратегию: кто-то активно участвует в выставках handmade товаров, кто-то сотрудничает с магазинами и он-лайн площадками, а кто-то находит заказчиков через собственный сайт, блог или страницу в соц. сетях. Но пока лишь немногие украинские мастера нацеливают свои усилия на зарубежный рынок. С развитием интернет технологий это стало более чем реально.
