Scoutmob

As an Etsy and Scoutmob Shoppe artist, I have to say that Scoutmob is awesome! I was apprehensive at first since they demanded a pretty large minimum output, but after a few weeks I was selling almost double what I was on Etsy. I still haven't stopped selling with Etsy, but I'd recommend Scoutmob to any artist. Beware though, their 'curation' team is pretty scrupulous. Many of my maker friends have been rejected because their products 'didnt fit the market'. Also depending on your product, you may not make as much profit per item, but usually the volume will make up for that. I haven't used their local deals app much but for Shoppe they definitely get a 5/5 from me.

If I could give zero stars, I would. In theory, the shop is great-a variety of artisans showcasing their goods... I saw several things on the site that I liked. However, customer service is atrocious and I honestly don't know how they remain in business. Their phone is "out of order" and they only answer emails once a day. And each time they answer, it's a different representative answering you, so you have to re-explain the issue over and over again. I was never able to get a resolution for my problem. I will never order from them again. I googled the items I wanted and found some of them elsewhere--
