2Why Sell Your Crafts at the Moonta Craft Shop?

There are lots of benefits to selling your handmade or crafted items in the Moonta Craft Shop.  Selling your arts or crafts in the shop could be a great way to earn some extra cash from your hobby. It could also be a great testing ground for new products for your own crafting micro-business. 

What’s more, the shop is open 7 days a week, so you have the advantage of having your items displayed and available for sale all the time.

If you have your items displayed on a stall at the local markets, your customers can only see them for a few hours during market hours. You also have to be present the entire time to make sales.

By comparison, when you choose to display your stock in the Moonta Craft Shop you have the benefit of having your items on sale 7 days a week in a prominent retail shop right in the main street of Moonta.

Our team of volunteers keep the shop open every day, so you could still be making sales whether you’re in the shop or not!  

Membership Fee

$50 per year – that’s less than $1 per week to display your items for sale 7 days a week!

Why Are There Membership Fees AND Commissions?

The Moonta Craft Co-op is a non-profit organisation, so all annual membership fees and commissions go directly towards covering the costs associated with keeping the shop running. These costs include covering the cost of rent for a prominent retail shopfront, electricity costs, insurance premiums, and other sundry costs of keeping the shop open every day of the week.

Can You Sell Your Crafts Elsewhere Too?

Yes, of course! Some of our members dedicate some of their stock to keep in the Shop, but they also pay for and set up individual stalls to sell other handcrafted works at local markets in Kadina, Wallaroo and other locations too. Others may also have their crafted items available for sale in other retail outlets, including online websites.

Keep in mind that we do have a ‘no duplication’ policy in place. This means we prefer not to stock duplicated items, so come into the shop and check what stock is currently being sold and where your items might compliment our existing range!

Please speak to any of our volunteers in the shop about selling your crafts in the Moonta Craft Shop if you also want to sell elsewhere too, or email us and one of our members will get back to you with more information.
