I've just discovered a new
U.K. BEAD SUPPLIER!!
Their swift service is
impeccable, supported by their promise of:
ORDER BY 2pm ON A WEEKDAY and THEY GUARANTEE to dispatch
on the same day - or ... THEY WILL
REFUND YOU £10!!

"What are they called?"
I hear you cry ...






www.beadcrafty.com
is definitely worth a visit!

Their Home page makes online shopping so easy, with a beautiful hand-picked image selection of beads, so clear and uncluttered. Definitely a case of 'less is more'! And ... to top it all, FREE DELIVERY!

I recently caught up with Steve from BeadCrafty to find out
a little more
about their business ...


WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO SET UP BEADCRAFTY?


The business was set up as we recognise that there is a very large and fast growing jewellery making community. We notice that many bead sites are not offering FREE DAY DELIVERY and SAME DAY DISPATCH and we felt that we could offer something more to our customers. We also wanted to hand-pick a selection of beads (we have about 500) rather than offering a huge (and sometimes daunting) range.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FORMAL TRAINING OR EXPERIENCE IN JEWELLERY MAKING OR JEWELLERY SALES FROM A PREVIOUS WORK BACKGROUND?

We have no formal training in creating jewellery but we have many creative people within our company who have various outlets for their creativity, one of which is creating jewellery. This helps us understand our customers and know exactly what they want. Our background is in T-shirts (our managing director started an online T-shirt business while he was a student).

WHAT IS YOUR BEST SELLING PRODUCT?


Our best selling products are the FIMO FRUIT BEADS - probably because
they look good enough to eat! Our cute BELL BEADS and

PORCELAIN OWL BEADS also sell very well.

HOW DO YOU PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS?


We promote the business by visiting craft fairs, writing blog posts to help
give our customers ideas of how to use the products that we sell.

WHAT AMBITIONS AND GOALS DO YOU HAVE FOR BEADCRAFTY

FOR THE FUTURE?


We want to become the number one bead selling site! We want to offer the best customer service, the fastest dispatch time and excellent quality products!! We have a long way to go, but we are dedicated to treating our customers how we like to be treated!

  1. Fab supplier Linda and I couldn't resist placing an order and love some of the fimo and porcelain beads! Just a note for anyone else ordering as I couldn't get the "quantity" button to update the amount when ordering on their website, i.e. 5 of something still came up with the price of 1 in the basket. Spoke to a lovely lady on the help line and she said at the mo you have to order individually, e.g. if you wanted 5 packs of something you would click the "Buy" button 5 times, but it is something they will look to change in the future, or the ability to update the checkout basket manually prior to checkout. Handy Hint from a Not So Secret Shopper! Sal xx

  3. Thanks Linda and got my order from Bead Crafty through this morning! Fabulous service as I only ordered yesterday and everything is of great quality. They were all beautifully wrapped in tissue and ribbon ....and a bonus of some Love Hearts included! The fimo flowers were just itching for stick pin transformation and I've posted a photo of one of them with some squiggly wire treatment over on your Facebook page ... http://www.facebook.com/MakingBeautifulBeadandWireJewelry
