ArtFire Collections Now Live on ArtFire.com

Tucson, AZ, August 12, 2010 --(PR.com)-- ArtFire’s new Collections promotional tool gives ArtFire members the ability to curate their own groups of items for sale on Artfire. ArtFire Collections provides a new way to browse items on ArtFire, and will eventually power a host of assisted shopping tools for artisan goods.

Every item on ArtFire can be used in a collection, and every member is eligible to create collections. Basic members can create a new collection every 24 hours, with the time reset at midnight Arizona time. Pro members can make an unlimited number of collections, and only collections featuring exclusively Pro member items will be considered for the front page, shopper emails and other promotions.

“With the continued influence of social commerce, we found the need to provide our users with a tool to share and display their personal taste and best product finds,” said Tony Ford, COO of ArtFire.com. “These are not just collections of items, but vignette-like experiences with over-arching themes that our users can share with friends, colleagues and the world at large to show off their style and taste.”

More About ArtFire

ArtFire.com was founded in November of 2008 on the principles of Community Directed Development. This philosophy puts the power of development in the hands of the ArtFire community, allowing them to help determine the site’s direction as it grows. ArtFire is the first artisan venue to offer sellers the ability to create customizable studio storefronts, unique coupon codes, and remote checkout technology. The new Collections tool is a continuation of ArtFire’s tradition of innovation and artisan direction.
