I am looking for a partner for my craft business in south Florida. In particular someone who can sell the crafts? I am looking for someone in west palm beach area to partner with me in the selling and or making of crafts for sale at my warehouse.
I have two bays to work in and showcase the crafts. I have tried eBay but the items or heavy and difficult to mail (costly as well) so I feel the best way is to drive people to the warehouse or someone who can market them on consignment or other ways to sell them. It is difficult to haul them to craft shows because of my schedule and the packing and hauling them.
I would appreciate any suggestions or advice or someone who can sell the products locally for me. I also have a web site set up thru yahoo (cecrafts. Com) but then I will be in the same predicament with the mailing of the products which can make them too expensive.
Thank you for any help! Asked by dilisio 47 months ago Similar questions: partner craft business south Florida sell crafts Arts > Sewing, Craft & Hobby.

Try looking for someone to help on Craigslist. I can't help in person since I am not in your area, however I do have a suggestion for you. Why don't you try posting to your local Craigslist site to try to find someone who is interested?
You can post a free ad that will appear immediately on the website. You may be able to find a store that is willing to carry your crafts that way or a person who is willing to work in your local area helping you sell them for a percentage of the sales. I know there are a lot of people who are hurting for money right now and looking for ways to generate some extra income so your chances of finding someone to help are probably pretty good.
Try posting in the "community" or "services" section and see if you get any bites. It can't hurt since it is free, right? Start at craigslist.org and then narrow in on your specific location to post your ad.
Good luck! Sources: my opinion .
Irrigation Craft Measures Success in Decades, Standardizes on Siemens Control Components Irrigation Craft Measures Success in Decades, Standardizes on Siemens Control Components Requirements"When Richard and Linda Neff founded Irrigation Craft nearly 20 years ago, they were not happy with the state of the skid mounted pump station market. “The units were immature and unrefined,” Richard Neff said. “Manufacturers used very expensive components and still the equipment had a lot of trouble.
We knew we could do better. ”Irrigation CraftLocated in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. , Irrigation Craft manufactures skid mounted pump stations and controls sold throughout North and South America.The pump stations and controls are used in irrigation systems found in large and small commercial installations, parks, roadways, plant nurseries, agriculture, hotels and resorts.
The company also manufactures pressure boosters for portable water in tall buildings and irrigation systems, and water transfer controls for fountains and waterfalls. Designing equipment to last, with minimal repairs, is the operating philosophy of Irrigation Craft. Since starting the company, Neff has been focused on improving what worked, and changing what did not.
Perfecting the pumping of clear water – in tall buildings to water falls to irrigation systems – is a way of life for Neff. “Every time there has been a problem we examined it and found a method to make sure it never happened again,” Neff said. “We maintained a close watch on all of our equipment.
We still do. So if we have a component that will last three years, we automatically look for a component that will last longer. Basically, that is the foundation of the company.
Our skid mounted pump system is designed to last 20-30 years. ”The majority of Irrigation Craft’s business is custom fabrication, although the company offers standard units as well. However, he said the control system voltages, phases, and types of pumps, constantly change, depending on the job.
Engineering Makes the DifferenceRecently, Neff made another improvement to his skid mounted pump stations and controls. After 15 years of working with an electrical controls and automation vendor, he made a switch to Siemens Energy & Automation. “I’m active in a lot of engineering groups and almost as a whole they preferred Siemens over my existing electrical component supplier,” Neff said.
“Siemens is known for quality engineering. The other vendors who competed for my business were marketing driven. ”Past president of the Florida Irrigation Society, Neff took the advice of his engineering colleagues and contacted Siemens in 2004.By the end of the year, Irrigation Craft standardized on Siemens automation and control components, including SIMATIC S7200 PLCs and expansion modules, MICROMASTER 440 drives, SIRIUS contactors, OL relays, branch circuit protecting molded case circuit breakers, and handle mechanisms built into NEMA 4X electrical enclosures.
Neff said he met with Siemens engineers over several months to learn about the company and its products. Sources: http://www2.sea.siemens.com/Products/PowerDistribution/Case+Studies/Irrigation+Craft.htm .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
