Craft Businesses Defy Current Trends

Posted on December 24, 2008 by Daryl Phillips, CEcD

In the New York Times business section yesterday, I read an article, “For Craft Sales, the Recession Is a Help“, about how craft related businesses were performing above average during the current recession. Craft supply, finished craft, and handmade product businesses could outperform other businesses while we weather these economic times and provide an easy entry into entrepreneurship that may be worth a look. For more information on starting a business, check out a starting a busisness informational workshop at our office on January 20th or our business website, http://www.business.hickmantn.org/ .
