ArtFire.com’s Holiday-Free-For-All a Fast Success: More Than 20,000 Items Listed Daily

Tucson, AZ, October 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- ArtFire’s Free-For-All Holiday promotion has been met with great success amongst their artisan base. Since the announcement was made that everyone on the site could list and sell unlimited items completely free, more than 200,000 new items have been listed on the site, causing the total number of items for sale to jump past 600,000.

ArtFire.com’s Holiday-Free-For-All is a limited time promotion which allows basic (free) members on the site to list and sell as many items as they want in their ArtFire studio without site charges for the holiday season. For the month of October, ArtFire is also allowing free use of the Etsy Importer and Global Product Editor, two tools which allow existing Etsy members to copy their listings onto their ArtFire studio and organize them as they see fit. These features have already resulted in a boom in traffic as well as listing, with an average of 20,000 new listing daily appearing on the site.

“Times are tough for everyone, especially home business owners like our sellers,” said John Jacobs, CEO of ArtFire.com. “By providing more features for free even for a limited time, we’re doing our part to help our members have a successful fourth quarter.”
