What Our Sellers Are Saying

Don’t just take it from us, let our sellers do the talking!

What sets WowThankYou apart from the competition is the dedication and passion that Magdalena shows for supporting the British crafter. I put a lot of care and research into my products and am very careful where my items are seen. I am very proud to showcase what I do on WowThankYou.

Being a part of WowThankYou is made so easy by having access to my own admin page where I can amend my shop.

Finally there’s a support team of genuine friendly people only a click away!

The best thing about the site, from a seller’s point of view is being able to list items indefinitely without hoping they sell in a limited time period having been charged to list them as you do on certain auction sites. It’s great to have all handmade items in one place supporting cottage industries.

Hi, I’m Magdalena and I’m the person behind WowThankYou.

I’m here to help you to get the most of your presence on WowThankYou and I’m always happy to share my expertise and experience to help you to make your shop the best it can be.

Like you – I’m very passionate about handmade, crafts and art and I’ve always been creative. I made my first ‘handmade product’ when I was about 6 (it was a hand sewn fabric snake, which somehow made it to everyone’s Christmas stocking that year…) and since then I have not stopped making things!

I got a bit de-railed by having a corporate career and for about 12 years I worked for a large social care company until I made myself redundant (being a Managing Director did have some benefits after all…) and finally took the plunge to turn my creative passion into proper business.

That was back in 2011 and now I split my time between working closely with business owners through my mentoring business. I focus mainly on online marketing, social media, websites and SEO. At weekends I share my baking & chocolate making skills with others through my creative business called Cocoa & Heart.

I’ve taken over running WowThankYou in summer 2015 and I’m absolutely thrilled to continue championing UK based artisans, crafters and designer through such a wonderful online marketplace. In autumn 2015 I’ve added Handmade Business Directory to work alongside our main website and to provide even further support to our creative sellers.

I look forward to learning more about you and your business and can’t wait to welcome you to our seller’s community!

Questions?

What are the criteria for joining WowThankYou?
We don’t like to make unnecessary rules, but you do need to live in the UK and your products need to be handmade or have a handmade element to them. We understand, that you can’t handmade every bead if you are creating a retro necklace but equally we don’t want to support mass produced items made outside UK. Shopping local and supporting UK based artisans, makers, crafters and art people is our passion, so that’s what we like to champion to our customers.

You will also need to have a clear brand, coherent product selection and good quality pictures.

How can you help me to promote my shop?
Yes, we do all your shop marketing for you. You are welcome to join in as many marketing activities that we currently run for our self-managed accounts, but that’s up to you.

This type of account works well if you’d like to add another selling stream to your current business mix.

Once you process your shop subscription, you will receive your own ‘ready to go’ store on WowThankYou. We will provide you with resources to help you set up your shop in the best possible way. This includes sellers only access WowThankYou resource portal, website manual and private Facebook Group.

Once you have your shop set up, we will help you to optimise it for search engines as well as for customers. We will also review your shop before it goes live and then start to market it for you.

We will help you to market your shop and you will have the opportunity to be included in our regular customer newsletter (reaching around 13.5 K customers each week), social media platforms (with over 8K twitter followers and over 24K likes on Facebook), to be featured as seller on our blog and included in our online Gift Guides.

What are my obligations?
12 month contract to stay with WowThankYou (this helps us to slot your shop into our marketing and plan ahead)

Update us immediately if there are any changes to your product offers

When you receive an order, process and dispatch it as you would normally do

Notify the customer and WowThankYou that dispatch has been made (this is done by a simple click in your shop admin panel)

Excellent customer care and attention to detail

Is Handmade Business Directory Listing included?
Yes, of course! All shop options include annual business listing on UK Handmade Business Directory worth £15. Your listing will include direct links to your website, social media and description. This means that your business will also be promoted directly as a whole, not just as your shop on WowThankYou. We also have another friendly Facebook Group for Handmade Business Members with lots of ways of having your shop or website promoted. This includes Blog Share Wednesday Link Party, Facebook Shares, promotion of your events (if you run creative workshops for instance) and online networking.

How does the buying and selling on WowThankYou actually works?
Once you become a member of WowThankYou you will be sent via email your username and password details, where you can access your own store to load, amend, delete products. From this admin area you will also be able to set up your Store’s profile page, monitor traffic to both your storefront and individual products, receive and reply to inquiries from customers, check orders and invoices.  You have total control over your products and can add and amend however often you wish. There is no limit on how many products you list in your shop. You can create your own discount codes, set up your own categories and have as many variations on individual product as you wish.

How do I get paid?
The payment method is quite simple: When a customer purchases something from your shop, you are paid the full amount directly into your own PayPal account. You will receive two emails – one from WowThankYou with order details and one direct from PayPal informing you that the customer has paid. You then make and dispatch the product directly to the customer. Each month we will invoice you for 20% commission of any sales you’ve made that month (once the amount of commission reaches £2); and you settle this within our invoice’s 28 days deadline directly into WowThankYou PayPal account.

I'm not sure that this is for me.
Not a problem!

If you’d preferred a self-managed shop with zero or low commission, just sign up to our newsletter and you will be the first one to know when we are planning to launch these accounts this autumn.

Where can I see the full Terms & Conditions?
Yes, of course, here is all the small print! You can view our full terms and conditions here http://www.wowthankyou.co.uk/content/terms-conditions-seller/
