They're back!

[PurplePenny]

The Craft Store is reopening, but with a new business model. Craft companies will buy a slot of air time to do their demos, then all the sales will be direct with the supplier; The Craft Store will not be involved and will not take a cut.

Q&A on Facebook at 8pm tomorrow (12th January)

Dan and Hayley explain all here:

Hurrah! I just can't get on with all these 'live shopping' things that are going on. I've bought harddly anything since C&C went under.

Sounds rather like that suggestion I made last year. I hope it works for people. I will not join FB so I probably will not be able to watch this.

Yes PP, you should get a cut. I don't do twitface either so I won't get to see any of this.

I’m not on Facebook or Twitter
I only have WhatsApp to catch up with family
So don’t have to use instagram now

[Lioness]

Another one here who doesn't have a facebook, twitter or instagram account.
I have on occasion gone onto public facebook sites but recently facebook will only allow you to read so many posts before displaying a 'register with us' window, which prevents you from viewing older posts.

I did manage to read some of the comments on the craft store page that PurplePenny posted and it seems that they are trying to get this onto YouTube, which might be easier to watch on.

Hope that it works out for them and that the smaller companies get a look in, and dont get pushed out again by the big ones. They need a variety of crafts, not just papercrafting.

I have Facebook, but not the other two. Doubt I am that interested anyway to be honest. The link doesn't work for me by the way.

IThe link doesn't work for me by the way.

Roz, are you using a phone or tablet? I've recently discovered that links I copy from my PC don't work properly on the mobile versions of Facebook.

I used Facebook's own "Share link" for this URL https://fb.watch/xdeodLpiVH/

Oh no :( Highlight already do their own videos, I hope they don't take over the shows again. Oh well, I doubt that I'll watch anyway so I suppose it shouldn't really matter to me.
