Handmade Products

I also kind of was able to relate it to handmade products as they are known to be more valuable




from this post on quora I found that many people prefers hand made products because of their uniqueness and mostly because it was made by better care for the customers needs. Some even said that they prefer handmade because it was made by love, concentration and dedication. That’s what gives handmade products their value

Handcrafted products has more value because can offer higher quality and more attention to detail.

They are green as they uses less energy and is more environmentally sustainable

It creates jobs for people

Studies showed that handcrafted are often better than mass produced products

Studies also shows that people feels better buying handcrafted products knowing it’s quality and environmental sustainability

Studies also shows that most handcrafted products helps communities through their revenues

Artisans are often open to tweaking certain aspects of the products to your desired needs

Studies shows that people prefer handcrafted because it offers a fuller sensory experience through it’s properties and taste

Handcrafted products is easy to buy and becoming more and more popular

Handcrafted products are unique

It supports a tradition of skilled work, it supports arts.

It’s the new American trend

It’s human nature to value creativity

Its crated in an environment of joy honour and respect

Handmade item are not exactly the same and cannot be duplicated

Handmade is more beautiful because its made with love






Based on my research I found that there are a lot of measures being taken for people who are going to lose their jobs as there are a lot of new better jobs being created. As for crafty people the handcrafted industry is increasing as these products are known to be of better quality and are more valuable, moreover they are more eco-friendly. So I was thinking of maybe use the leaflet to inform people these things.
