If you think the top trends only matter to consumers, think again! Following the hottest trends in your niche will help your craft business immensely.
Knowing what craft products are trending will help you tailor your products to what the market wants, whether that’s revising (or simply repackaging) a current product, or making a new product to serve customers who want to get in on that trend.
