"I have a small business, Cascade Caning Co., and I have never had a web
si0te. Would I fit in here? In my business I reweave antique chair
seats, etc. Thanks Kathy"
Hi Kathy and all other Chair Caners!!
You might find my website extremely interesting for ways to promote your business. I've been in the wicker restoration, chair caning and basketry business for over 30 years and have had an informational website to promote and perpetuate those crafts. http://www.WickerWoman.com
Two years ago, I started a National Furniture Repair Directory that lists small businesses like yours in the fields of Chair Caning and Seatweaving, Wicker Furniture Repair, Upholstery and Furniture Stripping & Refinishing. For a very modest annual fee, you can get some terrific national exposure for your business (or hobby). No need to have your own website either, but it is another way of promoting it, to list on your ad. Must have an email addy, though. Check it out at http://www.WickerWoman.com/repairdirectory.html
Also in 2004, I began a Seatweaving Discussion Board Forum for Chair Seatweavers and Wicker Repair Specialists, where we can talk about techniques, materials, advertising, supply sources, etc. Please join us any time and either post your thoughts on the various topics or just lurk until you feel comfortable. There's also a SEARCH box so you can read all the past posts. Although there are now over 10,000 so you'd be reading for a long time to get them all. Hehehe! http://disc.server.com/Indices220033.html
