Hello,
My name's Carrie & I own Ad Chiclet. I spend my time organizing magazine ads in Crafty magazines. Ad Chiclet is my website for organizing ads, and it has an easy sign up form, artwork & payment system. The magazine ads are featured on their own site, GlassMetalClay.com . Artist specials are there too!

I'm handy with photoshop (Makeing photos look amaZing!) & Quark and pretty good with websites too, so feel free to ask for help on those things. I can write helpful articles for Blogs about marketing & advertising. Currently I am blogless! I'll let you know if it changes though...

Get your stunning product photos

Desire Marketing

How often have you flipped through your favorite catalog and paused on a page, only to crease it and mark a product you want? Now think about it. Did you know you wanted this product beforehand?

Hi Carrie,
Thanks for contacting me, can you tell me more about this co-op ad? Do you ever do this in Bust mag, Bitch mag or any other feminist magazines?

Do you DaWanda?

I know many of us here on Indie Public sell on Etsy but do you also sell on DaWanda?

I am putting together a 5 part blog post over this weekend to talk about how to use DaWanda to expand your business, why it can benefit you, who is buying on DaWanda & what you need to know to be successful there!
