Allies for Health + Wellbeing
The Pittsburgh region’s largest independent craft fair
HERE'S WHAT WE TACKLED
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Handmade Arcade launched a virtual marketplace to help regional makers and artists increase their revenue. The organization needed a cohesive digital marketing strategy to drive web traffic and e-commerce sales. In addition, HA wanted to increase the number of overall applicants and strategically attract underserved, underrepresented makers.
