Testimonials from past exhibitors

“I first used Brittni's company Papernstitch as a promotional tool in the handmade online market in 2010. The results in higher views and sales from the first week of my 4 week slot were very definitely tangible and sales kept ocurring at a higher frequency all month! I couldn't believe the results I had for the excellent value ad package that Brittni offered. Not only that the whole process was friendly, professional, totally well-organized and happened just as was explained at the outset. As a result I have had several more slots and each have brought me more customers and trade. Using Papernstitch via Brittni, next to Etsy, has been the most effective marketing and promtional tool I have used and would recommend it to any handmade artist or crafter!”
-Alison of East Witching

"Brittni takes a special interest in the artists/designers invited to participate in Papernstitch and is committed to helping them succeed. She promoted my line while I had a showcase which resulted in a feature on Modish (yea!) and has followed my progress over the last year even when I was no longer participating in Papernstitch. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend working with her.”
-Erika of Oishii Handmade

"Papernstitch has consistently been one of the top 10 sources that bring traffic to my shop, and I would hate to mess with a good thing."
