Welcome to Celestho Crafters Collective

Our Story

Continuous lockdowns during the pandemic stranded many families. Initially, its impact on people’s lives and businesses was the least known. Many brick-and-mortar stores realized that they had no option but to shut down as a measure to avoid all functional costs and to cut down losses. Hustle culture and the digital world grew faster than before. A shift from brick store to digital store has not been a favourable decision for many. During our various networking events with fellow entrepreneurs, we saw how they struggled to make ado with their side hustle. People who lost their jobs turned their side hustle into a full-time income. It all began when a craftswoman tried to help her community by forming a group of like-minded people. Community over competition is the ideology we follow. The lockdown phase was the time when we came up with a gift guide as a humble attempt to support small businesses. This gift guide featured local craftsmen in Canada. We circulated this gift guide free of cost to help artists, artisans and home-based ventures. Independent sellers often state that they have issues around pricing and shipping. Many platforms charge a humongous amount of money for selling their products.

The Challenges

Most Common Challenges faced by Small Business Owners:

• Challenge in making products that people would love to buy,
• Marketing products to the right audience,
• Manage various platforms in which they must promote,
• Build a social presence on social media platforms,
• Advertising products,
• Being everywhere at once,
• Juggle between business and family commitments,
• Pricing your products right,
• Client dependence,
• Lack of confidence,
• Money management,
• Balancing quality and growth

These independent sellers are struggling to make ends meet with so much on their plate. As a solution, online stores have started giving out plans with a lot of hidden costs. The pricing is detrimental to founders affected due to the financial crisis. There are many problems that founders face while running a business. Problems like affordability, time constraints, juggling many roles affect their performance. At such points when they find no one to support small businesses make the situation worse. Celestho crafters help cut efforts made in marketing and brand awareness. They can thrive with less commitment from their side. We act as the voice of small Canadian businesses in front of the world. When alone, these tasks great efforts to cut through the noise online and establish the brand. The unity Celestho crafters experience each day is because of a positive community of craftsmen who support each other! Alone we can do things but, united we can achieve great heights. We can break all limitations that we face as vendors.
