Reflections on my visit to 2010, Maker Faire

28Th september 2010 blogs in thumbs up no recommendations

Last week I wrote about the resurgence of the custom market.Just a few days later, I was on the 2010 Maker Faire in Queens, NY, a collection of people are doing things, and thousands of people who want to see it. CustomMade exhibited at the faire, and after only two days I have never been more convinced of the custom market viability.

We displayed a handful CustomMades craftsmen fine work at our booth, and so the throngs of people lodging in our booth to gawk. We expected people to see, but when so many of them approached us to learn more about who made these and custom process is like, I was pleasantly surprised by the answer.They were not just amazed at the quality of work, but freely opined on how useful custom process would be for them, many of them are frustrated by not being able to find what they need to present their home, and some take even a strong philosophical position against chain stores one humorous and noteworthy quotes was "I think IKEA is the downfall of our society". For many of our booth visitors it looked like a light just turned on in their minds, say things like "this is such a good idea, I do not know why I never thought of it before!"

The fact is, the idea of getting something custom made often overlooked as an option, but when presented as an alternative to convetional shopping methods, all trøde, it is so very sensibly. speak with this sample of people made me feel like, we can be relieved that so many are receptive to the idea of few elements custom made, but that we should constantly remind them custom as an option. We must increase our efforts in staying visible in the middle of the throngs of retail stores, and stay safe on the viability of hand-made, customized elements.
