Create an online shop, sell your products and build a successful business. TiLiShop is made for designers, makers, artists and indie brands.
That sums it up in two sentences. But there is a lot more to it, of course. We're not building yet another shopping cart; this is the result of more than half a decade of research and more than fifteen years of hands-on experience building online shops for ourselves and other artists, makers, designers and small creative companies.
A little History
The first time we spoke about building TiLiShop was roughly seven years ago. We created the branding, a name and a website, and we were ready to start building. But then we realised we lacked fundamental expertise to build a strong product.
A bit of research would benefit the product considerably. So the decision was made to postpone and gather more information.
A little lot of Research
Fast forward five years to December 2018, and we felt finally ready to push ahead. We gathered the necessary funds and learned a lot about the real needs of running a small online business.
In the meantime, we had worked together with goldsmiths, architects, furniture designers, industrial designers and an online printing company, and gained invaluable real-world insights.
Additionally, we experimented ourselves by launching various mini brands. We designed and produced a series of ceramic vessels, set up an accessory line, did a pop-up gallery for a year in Barcelona and created an art print shop.
What started as an intention to do a bit of research, ended up being five years of it. It took a lot more time than we anticipated, but TiLiShop will benefit from it, for sure.
Approaching Completion
Now, after two years of hard work, the product is almost ready. In a few months, we'll start handing out beta free accounts to anyone genuinely interested.
These are exciting times for us. So much of our time and effort has gone into building a fabulous product, and we can't wait to show you.
Be sure to register for the free beta, because early access will be limited!
