GBHandmade only and donations that help children in need! A place to sell that's handmade only and donates transaction fees to charity. What's not to love? I have been on Goimagine since beta phase in 2020 and the customer service is amazing! Always someone available to help, and often it's handmade artists helping other artists. It's the charitable donations to help children in need and being handmade only that drove us to Goiamgine as a place to grow our business long term. It is a new site, so it will take time to gain traffic, so don't expect to jump in and make lots of sales at first. One thing to keep in mind is that it was the sellers that grew Etsy in the beginning by spreading the word. And with a site that's handmade only, what many of us makers have been looking for, I don't think it will take too long for Goiamgine to grow.

GBI signed up for the mosaic plan I signed up for the mosaic plan, $10 @ mo. After 1 week I cancelled. Not because of lack of traffic- I'm aware it's a new site and I was willing to " grow " with Go Imagine. With the Mosaic, I was able to point my domain and utilize a Mosaic website along with the GO Imagine marketplace. But here is the problem and why I left and chose not to waste my time & money: The marketplace site is just OK in regard to listing products for sellers & navigation menu for buyers could be better. I found it frustrating. But my goal was to utilize my domain. The Mosaic website lay out, navigation menu does not have a home page, back button or return to top or anyway to return to all the products. It froze many times while trying to make changes to listings. The navigation menu left alot to be desired. The bounce rate in comparsion to other marketplaces is high... I suspect because of this. The bounce rate info was found thru a Google search on go imagine bounce rate. My banner at the top of the Mosaic site was so small it was unappealing. I had a family member try and navigate thru a hot mess; needless to say she found it difficult. As far as this portion of Mosaic, utilizing what they call " your private website" when you point a domain there; there are no files, no back end or C panel. Any SEO, organic or paid traffic has to be done by you. So the Mosaic plan essentially does NOT offer a website by any stretch of the imagination. I suppose if you are looking for another marketplace to cross list too, have under 50 products this would be OK. But even the marketplace portion of go imagine for seller shops does not advertise on Google or other search engines... at least I saw none. Only ads to join Go Imagine. Customer service for sellers was nice- the FB group is genuinely helpful. But didn't make enough of a difference to me to stick around for $10 @ mo.

GBExcellent support and it works if you do the work. I'm a seller and buyer on Goimagine, and my experience has been that they're far more responsive than any other platform. Since they're small and don't have any plans on going public, they're able to handle things without being beholden to stockholders, and that means that they don't need to bend the rules about handmade in order to grow at any cost. I've had sales by sending my own traffic to my shop, and from the ads that they are running on social media. The additional benefits are that having a Goimagine shop also gives me more visibility in Google search results, which is invaluable for a small business. I know that people complain that Goimagine doesn't have the same traffic as the largest marketplaces, but then they also complain about the large marketplaces and how impersonal they are. Every marketplace has pros and cons but Goimagine has a lot of potential, and it's working for me.

GBgoimagine My shop on goimagine is Rivermist Creations and I have their Mosaic stand alone website rivermistcreations.com. Goimagine is not E* and that is the best thing about them. The goimagine selling platform can be different but it is not impossible nor hard to navigate in setting up your shop. I've been with goimagine since beta and they have continually improved and will continue to do so. Sales have been growing steadily and the founders CARE about the sellers/makers just as much as they do about the customer. They have the best customer service of any site I've seen yet. The fees are extremely reasonable to the seller but add on to all of that and they give back to children in need. What more could anyone want.
