A new craft magazine helpful for sellers?

I have had an email for this new magazine https://secure3.subscribeonline.co.uk/origin/products.sol?mag=CSEL&cmp=X762&promobox=FALSE

It covers selling your crafts so might be worth a look

after my experiences subscribing to a new magazine last time i recieved a email i think i'd rather visit the dentist. lol looks good though

Im not sure I would subscribe to it either but I have brought the 1st one just to see what it is like as it is very hard to get crafting mags in my area (mostly card ones)

Also I just wanted other crafters to know there is yet another magazine out that could help

I will let you know what it is like

Hope it wasn't the same one as me . I subscribed well before issue 1 came out but never recieved it . Got issue 2 and despite numerous emails and phone calls still no issue 1 they don't have any left !!!!!!. No issue 3 and issue 4 is out now but haven't had that either . They took my payment ok before issue 1 came out though no problems there . Pity they aren't so quick to sort out my problem and refund me. Their sales pitch subscribe and never miss an issue. :rotfl::rotfl:

That's not on :mad: If they want us to subscribe to their mags then they should provid excellent service and at least get you the 1st edition and give you another 3 months free
No wonder you have no faith in them Craftgranny
Who was it with?

Hart it was simply homemade . They took my money at the beg of feb . I put everything in writing as requested by them asking to cancel and for a refund and still nothing. I emailed them again today telling them they have left me no choice but to contact trading standards as they took my money and have provided appalling service and only one magazine in return.
I have contacted trading standards and they advised i email telling them i've contacted them and giving them one last oppourtunity to put things right. always takes at least a week for a reply so i'm not holding my breath.

i had a look for it today but couldnt find it but if it anything like simply homemade it could arrive in shops a day before the next issue is due out ! pretty useless

I got a copy of this new magazine (£4.99) from WHSmiths today. It came with a quite nice book of 52 labels to cut out, some saying "Handmade by ......" Thought I'd give it a try. It seems to be more for fabric crafters or biscuit making (!) rather than paper, but I haven't read the whole thing properly yet. There is an article on How to sell your makes on Etsy and a 'Summer Fete Special'. It's also sealed in a plastic bag so you can't sneak a look in the shop (bah!)
