Brand engagement notes

Brands should approach this community with authenticity and a genuine interest in the craft. Engaging through educational content, such as tutorials or workshops, can resonate well with members. However, overt promotional tactics are likely to be met with skepticism or hostility. Collaborating with artists for giveaways or featuring user-generated content can foster goodwill. Brands should avoid hard sells and instead focus on building relationships through shared interests.
