Community Directed Development - Does It Really Work? Would You Participate?

I had never heard the term "community directed development," but it is what drives ArtFire.com. From a business-branding standpoint, this is critically unique in the industry!

From ArtFire's mission found at "Community Directed Developement Puts Members in Control," I found this description interesting:

"....This type of social media, e-commerce, and community fusion has never been attempted or accomplished until now! CDD’s aggressive real time adaptation and implementation is much like putting a half built boat in to the water and assembling it while at sea; turbulence and challenge is expected and responsiveness is critical to success."

Do you like to be a unique part of the building process for a site that services sellers, as well as customers?

If you like this type of "give and take" selling environment, then ArtFire as a selling venue is worth consideration for your primary or secondary selling venue for handmade and vintage!
