CHANEL KIMURA – FOUNDER CEO
Handmade Home Co. was founded to help furniture artists, woodworkers, and home decor creators sell their work online. In 2018, I began flipping furniture for my own apartment and quickly realized how lucrative this "hobby" could be! I spent the first couple of years doing custom furniture requests, and eventually branched out to purchasing inventory to flip and list for sale. I had a very difficult time trying to find the most effective places to list my work.
As a response to this challenge, I established a distinguished marketplace focusing on handcrafted home furnishings. Our platform prohibits haggling, offers a transparent and straightforward fee structure, and extends a comprehensive range of services vital to empowering small businesses in their journey to success. Artists can create their own "Shop" pages to tell customers about their business and showcase their work. There are custom commission requests avialable directly on our website. We handle all of the confusing aspects of shipping, marketing & advertising for our artists, providing them with more time to focus on their craft.
By listening carefully to artists, Handmade Home Co. is constantly developing solutions for the challenges they face in general marketplaces. As a company, we take pride in our proactive approach to understanding, learning, and implementing the most efficient and cost-effective services for our artists' benefit.
With the rise of Amazon and their Prime Delivery offering 1–2-day shipping, consumers are now expecting either free shipping services, insanely fast ship times, and delivery rates & times displayed at checkout. Providing these services at checkout is key to maximizing customer satisfaction, but most artists do not have the resources to configure that on their own.
At check-out, we provide customers with live rates & ship times for this reason. We also give our artists the option of offering “free local pickup” & “artist drop off” at a pre-determined cost. We collaboratively explore the viability of "free shipping" for specific items, mutually agreeing on its implementation based on the benefits it could yield for both the artist and the customer.
