Have you ever seen a beautiful handmade product and wondered ‘how it was created’ or ‘how did that designer come up with such a clever product idea’.
Or on the other hand as an artist or a designer have you ever wanted to ‘show case’ your creative process and take potential customers on a journey behind the scenes of your business.
Well we just discovered the perfect platform for you to take your buying & selling experience on that journey- introducing Pitchi.
Pitchi is the world’s first digital video selling platform. Sell in a new dynamic & creative way.
Instead of using the normal format – a product listing with a creative description and beautiful product images, Pitchi uses video to showcase your product. Each listing is a short video up to to 60 seconds- imagine how creative you could be!
Beyond showing your finished product, imagine taking your customers on the journey of the creation of your item. Show them your creative process; the details and care taken to create that product, make them love and appreciate it even more. Make it personal and creativity, build a connection with your customer on a whole different level.
Imagine watching a glass blower in action, then seeing the finished product to purchase; or someone weaving up a Macramé plant holder ready to sell. The list goes on and on- jewellery making, sewing a quilt, painting a picture, knitting a scarf, to sewing children’s clothing.
Be as creative as you want to be- video your creation process, showcase your finished product, add some inspiring music and you are ready to ‘pitch’ your product on Pitchi.
Here’s a few clever videos we discovered while poking around Pitchi –
Handmade – Carved Wooden Bow Ties
Handmade Telephone earrings
Kids Hanbi Magic Jacket
Handmade Earrings
