Beadaholique is Giving 10 Customers A Free Artfire Pro Account Storefront, Complete with Lifetime Subscriptions.

Online, September 23, 2010 (Newswire.com) - "Free" is a word thrown around loosely these days, usually in reference to a free product sample, a free appetizer, or maybe a free oil change. But how often do you hear about a "free ecommerce business?"

Beadaholique.com, a 10-year ecommerce vendor of beads and jewelry-making tools and supplies to the arts and crafts community, is awarding FREE ecommerce websites to ten of its artisan customers. Each winner will receive a lifetime Artfire Studio ecommerce website, with no monthly charges, no listing charges, and no final fees.

Won't it be difficult for crafters and jewelry artists to make the technological leap to the web and ecommerce? "That's where our relationship with Artfire comes in," Beadaholique partner Chris Bellomo states. "We know from experience that these Pro-level Artfire.com storefronts are full-featured, and extremely easy to use. They're ideal for customers already selling their hand crafted jewelry locally, and for ten lucky Beadaholique customers, they are going to free for life!"

Beadaholique.com will be awarding 10 Life-time pre-paid Pro-level Artfire accounts to its designated winners. To be eligible for the contest, entrants must submit at least one photograph of their own bead or jewelry work using Beadaholique products, and a list of the products used. Rules of the contest are published at Beadaholique's website and contest page, and on Beadaholique's Facebook page. Last day to submit entries is Friday, October 8th, 2010.

"We believe our customers are all artists. Our customers are loyal to us because we are a resource for not just a hobby, but artistic expression. We offer them not only tools, beads and supplies, but free project guides, instructional videos, and reference materials-and now we are going to help them grow their business," says Beadaholique.com partner Sarah Diamond.

Ten lucky people are each going to receive a prize worth over $190.00 a year, for life! Artfire.com's Pro Merchant Plan is normally priced at $15.95 /mo (note: Artfire is currently offering a special rate of only $5.95/mo to only 10,000 members. Artfire's discount offer is ends on September 30, 2010).

Each Artfire Pro account comes fully loaded with multiple features. Along with no listing fees or commissions, each account will get every item loaded into the # 1 shopping engine in the world, Google Shopping, which reaches over 20 million Shoppers per month, and the # 2 shopping engine in the world, The Find. Each winner's account will also get: Unlimited Listings, Personal Domain/URL, Global Shipping Profiles, Multiple Suported Payment Processors, One Button After Sale Re-List, Vacation Mode, Google Analytics plus Direct Server Stats, Automatic Google Base! Seller Rating Feedback System, and One Button Item Tweet.
