8 Unique Artisanal Businesses to Check Out this LNY!

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body> <p>Even as Covid restrictions begin to ease, handmade products and small–craft businesses that popped up during the pandemic are still on the rise. As people got accustomed to online shopping, coupled with more physical pop-up events occurring, the demand for handmade crafts are on the rise.</p> <p>Let's explore some crafting trends of 2023 to help you kickstart or expand your crafting business! </p> <ul style='list-style-type: decimal;'> <div> <li style='font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold'> <p>Unique/Customizable Product</p> </li> <img style="width: 300px" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2F5%20Crafting%20Trends%20to%20Look%20Out%20for%20in%202023%2F01.jpg?alt=media&token=ae24523d-64eb-40b3-8c9d-8e1b9a361c2c" alt="1_unique-customizable product" /> <p>Uniqueness is the biggest differentiator you can offer that mass-market stores are unable to. You are selling a <b>one-of-a-kind item that is handcrafted by a unique pair of hands.</b> </p> <p>In addition, customers love being part of the creative process when they are able to <b>customize their products or choose a unique piece that suits their needs.</b></p> <p>Lastly, thinking about your products' unique selling point would make you stand out and leave a lasting impression on your customers.</p> </div> <div> <li style='font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold'> <p>Self-care Products</p> </li> <img style="width: 300px" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2F5%20Crafting%20Trends%20to%20Look%20Out%20for%20in%202023%2F02.jpg?alt=media&token=8a010afd-957e-4956-8ae9-b9d30f8bda1d" alt="2_self-care-products" /> <p> It comes as no surprise that Singaporeans live fast-paced and stressful lives. With mental health being highly advocated, many individuals are learning to prioritise self-care and one's well-being. Therefore, <b>products that target relaxation or mindfulness</b> will be the next big thing.</p> <p>Many products fall under this category, ranging from essential oils, candles, bath bombs, facial masks, handcrafted teas and even daily journals! The list is endless and the possibilities are boundless.</p> </div> <div> <li style='font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold'> <p>Products with a Story</p> </li> <img style="width: 300px" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2F5%20Crafting%20Trends%20to%20Look%20Out%20for%20in%202023%2F03.jpg?alt=media&token=eeb3b637-c13b-4063-9f0e-3cb61fc19760" alt="3_products-with-a -story" /> <p>On top of personalized items, personalized brands attract customers as well. Having a <b>strong and clear brand story</b> helps communicate your brand values and why customers should choose you. It shapes your business and products into something approachable and relatable. Very often, craft customers are seeking for unique products and a crafter/brand that they can connect with. Don't be afraid to <b>appeal to their emotions</b>, but don't go overboard, stay faithful to your brand. </p> </div> <div> <li style='font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold'> <p>Instagramable</p> </li> <img style="width: 300px" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2F5%20Crafting%20Trends%20to%20Look%20Out%20for%20in%202023%2F04.jpg?alt=media&token=ad586200-88f4-4fd0-9465-6d3d3adad52f" alt="4_instagramable" /> <p>Does your <b>craft look amazing and photogenic enough to be “instagramable”?</b> Instagram has been the platform for most businesses, especially smaller businesses, to showcase and connect with their customers. In addition, customers love to seek photogenic places, food and items to spice up their Instagram profile. So much so that “instagramable” has officially become an adjective. Not only does having an “instagramable” product attract customers, it can also garner free publicity when customers share about them online. </p> </div> <div> <li style='font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold'> <p>Sustainability</p> </li> <img style="width: 300px" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2F5%20Crafting%20Trends%20to%20Look%20Out%20for%20in%202023%2F05.jpg?alt=media&token=cebe1fb7-ffc0-4dd6-93e0-60c0af1ea74d" alt="5_sustainability" /> <p>Another way to market your product is through sustainability.</p> <p>The sustainability trend has been around for a long time and it is still gaining traction, especially among younger generations. This ranges from upcycling materials, eco-friendly packaging, to items that support sustainability such as tote bags or cloth face masks.</p> <p>Consider <b>pivoting your business towards a more sustainable approach</b> by making small tweaks in your model! This could be opting for eco-friendly packaging, using ethically-sourced materials, or even offering reusable packaging materials!</p> </div> </ul></body></html>

Even as Covid restrictions begin to ease, handmade products and small–craft businesses that popped up during the pandemic are still on the rise. As people got accustomed to online shopping, coupled with more physical pop-up events occurring, the demand for handmade crafts are on the rise.

<!DOCTYPE html><html><title></title><head> </head><body> <p> Something all eCommerce businesses could not survive without is a sustainable and reliable delivery service. No matter the industry or the size of your business, being able to deliver your goods safely to the client is very important. Good delivery service would not only increase customer satisfaction but also save you a lot of time and trouble. </p> <p> Other than price, some things to consider when choosing your delivery service for your business would be, the size of your product, lead time, perishability of your product and reliability of the delivery handlers.<br>For small crafts items, clothes and accessories, a small packaging and longer lead time would be possible. While for food items, same-day/ instant delivery or on-demand delivery would be a better choice. </p> <p> We collated a list of the best delivery options for deliveries within Singapore depending on your business needs. </p> <div style="overflow-x:auto;"> <table style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid;"> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid; padding: 8px; width: 50%">Same day/ Instant delivery</td> <td style="border: 1px solid; padding: 8px; width: 50%">Grab Express.

While there are many different types of services, they now offer more convenience with their <b><i>smartpac</i></b> and <b><i>PolyM</i></b> postage-paid services that send to your customer’s letterbox. Mail your items hassle free with no weight limit, buying stamps and queuing at the post office. Just purchase your smartpac or PolyM bags, pack them and drop them off at any posting box.<br>Smartpac offers tracking services while PolyM doesn't.

Top 7 Baking Supply Stores in Singapore You Have to Know

<!DOCTYPE html><html><title></title><head></head><body> <p> In Singapore, we are no strangers to scams from fake phone calls, SMS and emails to deals that are too good to be true. These ever-evolving scams truly keep us on our toes. However, there is a new type of Instagram scam that has hit many small businesses and affected their livelihood. </p> <p> Instagram (IG) has become an important platform for many artisanal small businesses in Singapore and many other countries. These small businesses rely heavily on IG as their main mode of communication and order collection with their followers as their main customer base. </p> <p> Recently, a scheme has been going on that specifically targets small businesses and takes over their Instagram accounts. A fellow home-based artisanal cake store that provides amazing customized cakes (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/candyqbakes/?hl=en" target="_blank">@candyqbakes.sg</a>) was hacked on the 24th of September. She was previously known as @candyqbakes, an account that she now no longer controls. She lost many painstakingly designed posts, highlights and most importantly, her followers. </p> <p> Attached below are some screenshots provided by @candyqbakes.sg of her conversations with another scammer who was using a similar method. In summary, an authentic-looking Instagram account was posted as an interested buyer of her products. These scammers are very convincing and go as far as to ask questions and even provide their delivery address and phone number etc. Once they have placed their order, they would proceed to mention a sob story about how they have been scammed by small home-based businesses in the past and hope for some form of authentication of ownership to the account. </p> <img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2FThe%20instagram%20takeover%2Fone.png?alt=media&token=55f34b33-ee56-4a14-8bd5-58d591d66d61" alt="one.png" /> <p> The scammer mentions that they had requested Instagram to send an SMS to the actual owner of the Instagram account and requests a screenshot of the message to prove the authenticity of the account before making payment. The screenshot contains the password reset link to their Instagram account, which the scammer then promptly uses to change the password and take over the account. </p> <img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2FThe%20instagram%20takeover%2Ftwo.png?alt=media&token=9fb4468e-b251-4cc0-811f-35e2f1a1d6d0" alt="two.png" /> <p> Once the account is taken over, the scammer then proceeds to scam its followers with investments-related scams through posts or direct messages. Some even attempt to use the account to take over even more accounts. Many small businesses have attempted to recover their account but to no avail. After speaking with @candybakes.sg, she still sounds very positive and just wishes that her followers would know that @candyqbakes is no longer operational. She also hopes to warn other small businesses not to fall for this scheme. </p> <img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2FThe%20instagram%20takeover%2Fthree.jpeg?alt=media&token=a7764914-ee59-4576-9d23-6f1e5abd81a2" alt="three.png" /> <p> Another home influencer account also encountered a scammer posting as another influencer account attending a competition and asking for her support. While the storyline differs, the method of requiring the Instagram owner to screenshot the reset password link is still consistent. </p> <h2>Tips on How to Protect Your Account </h2> <p> Scammers and hackers are always coming up with new tricks and schemes, so it is essential <b>to be mindful and to keep your account safe.</b> </p> <ul style="list-style-type:decimal"> <li style="padding-left:8px;font-weight:bold"> Set up two-factor authentication </li> <div style="padding-left:8px;padding-bottom:8px"> <p> By setting up your two-factor authentication, you will be able to see any login requests, remove trusted devices and access backup codes for your account if you have any issues with receiving a recovery code. </p> <p> To set it up, simply go to Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication → Get started! </p> </div> <li style="padding-left:8px;font-weight:bold"> Never click on any suspicious links received via direct message, email or SMS </li> <div style="padding-left:8px;padding-bottom:8px"> <p> Beware of any phishing links that are sent to you through Instagram direct messages even from users that you know. If you receive a suspicious link from a trusted friend, drop them a call or text to confirm if it is really them. It might be a replicated fake account or they have been hacked. Always double-check any links before clicking on them. </p> </div> <li style="padding-left:8px;font-weight:bold"> Do not send anyone private information. </li> <div style="padding-left:8px;padding-bottom:8px"> <p> Do not reveal any private information such as name, credit card number, passwords or OTP to anyone. While we are sure everyone is aware of this, it is sometimes very easy to forget. </p> </div> <li style="padding-left:8px;font-weight:bold"> Keep Calm and Sell! </li> <div style="padding-left:8px;padding-bottom:8px"> <p> While closing a sale is always exciting, it is important to stay calm and be wary when making a sale directly on Instagram. Always look into the customer's Instagram account and be vigilant about their requests. Do not be overly excited to close the deal. </p> </div> </ul> <p> Digital scams are aplenty in this era. As online business owners, it is crucial that we keep abreast of such scams such that we do not fall prey to them, especially when it affects one’s livelihood.

New type of Instagram scam that has hit many small businesses and affected their livelihood.

Beware: The Instagram Takeover!

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body> <p>Managing a small-time business while juggling multiple hats as a business owner can be a daunting task to many, especially if you’re doing it alone. Here are some tips on how you can maximise efficiency by employing a few clever tips in your business!</p> <ul style='list-style-type: decimal;'> <li style='font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold'> <p>Cross-utilisation of Ingredients</p> </li> <div> <img style="width: 300px" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2F4%20Ways%20to%20Optimise%20Your%20Business%20to%20Maximise%20Efficiency%20and%20Boost%20Profits%2F1_cross_utilisation_of_ingredients.png?alt=media&token=d31a595a-3dd1-414f-86c9-d128e3368801" alt="1_cross_utilisation_of_ingredients.png" /> <p> Cross-utilisation is the use of a single ingredient across 2 or more menu items. This is especially useful if your menu utilises premium ingredients such as Valrhona chocolate, Japanese matcha powder, or even vanilla beans. Besides improving the marketability of your products, it also <b>leads to better profit and higher quality items.</b> Take for instance, the matcha powder used in a matcha cookie could also be cross-utilized in a matcha loaf cake. Cross-utilization is especially effective for ingredients with a short shelf-life as it can be used across multiple products, thus minimising wastage and maximising efficiency for your business! </p> </div> <li style='font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold'> <p>Streamline Packaging across All Products</p> </li> <div> <img style="width: 300px; height: 300px; object-fit:fill" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2F4%20Ways%20to%20Optimise%20Your%20Business%20to%20Maximise%20Efficiency%20and%20Boost%20Profits%2F2_streamline_packaging_across_all_products.png?alt=media&token=e10064ee-f6eb-413d-8836-66cdd47ed0cd" alt="2_streamline_packaging_across_all_products.png" /> <p> Product packaging is undoubtedly the first physical touch point your business creates with your customer. It is therefore imperative that it is both visually pleasing, and also reflective of your branding. More often than not, business owners might run into the issue of ordering packaging in various dimensions to cater to the products offered. Coupled with the fact that most packaging comes with a minimum order quantity, this might leave you with a pile of deadstock.</p> <p>One effective method to combat this is to streamline your packaging; that is <b>to customize your products according to your existing packaging.</b> Besides keeping your branding consistent, it also saves you the hassle of ordering packaging in various dimensions, thus saving you costs in the long run. </p> </div> <li style='font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold'> <p>Utilise Stickers instead of Printed Packaging</p> </li> <div> <img style="width: 300px" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2F4%20Ways%20to%20Optimise%20Your%20Business%20to%20Maximise%20Efficiency%20and%20Boost%20Profits%2F3_Utilise_stickers_instead_of_printed_packaging_a.png?alt=media&token=bcf91ff8-6a77-40cc-a70b-4dc5c769f3f7" alt="3_Utilise_stickers_instead_of_printed_packaging_a.png" /> <br><br> <img style="width: 300px" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/farmable-95d1b.appspot.com/o/blog%2F4%20Ways%20to%20Optimise%20Your%20Business%20to%20Maximise%20Efficiency%20and%20Boost%20Profits%2F3_Utilise_stickers_instead_of_printed_packaging_b.png?alt=media&token=899ab0d7-1b80-45b7-9a4d-d9f93cef84ea" alt="3_Utilise_stickers_instead_of_printed_packaging_b.png" /> <p>While we are on the topic of packaging, festive periods are undoubtedly the busiest period for many businesses specializing in artisanal, handcrafted goods. Many businesses would customize packaging for such occasions to ensure that the festive products stand out from its regular counterparts. However, these festive packages might quickly turn obsolete once the festive season is over. </p> <p>An effective way of streamlining this process is to utilise stickers instead of printed packaging to ensure that <b>the lifespan of your packaging is not merely limited to its festive period.</b> Additionally, stickers offer higher flexibility in terms of designs and customizations. The above examples illustrate creative ways of designing your stickers to add flair and a personal touch to your overall packaging! </p> </div> <li style='font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold'> <p>Establish an Order Management System</p> </li> <div> <p>Juggling multiple hats as a business owner is tricky enough; wouldn’t it be awesome if you could <b>automate time-consuming tasks such as orders management?</b> This way, it frees up your time to focus on higher productivity tasks such as daily production, customer liaison, or even business strategizing. </p> <p>There are multiple order management tools available online that are free to use. Some of you might be familiar with Cococart, Pickupp, or even Take App. These systems collectively serve to ease order management for business owners, especially during peak hours. </p> <p>The Collective marketplace believes in creating a cohesive platform for artisans and buyers to gather together to exchange goods. Rather than spending multiple hours a day manually inputting orders into an Excel sheet, the time can be better utilised on running your daily operations! </p> <p>The Collective marketplace app aims to be ready for you in 2023!

Listed below are 2 types of business schemes:</p> <table style='width:100%; border:1px solid; border-collapse:collapse'> <tr> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'><a href='https://www.ura.gov.sg/Corporate/Guidelines/Home-Business/Home-Office-Scheme' target='_blank' rel="noopener">Home Office Scheme</a></td> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'><a href='https://www.ura.gov.sg/Corporate/Guidelines/Home-Business/Home-Based-Businesses' target='_blank' rel="noopener">Home-Based Business Scheme</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'>Allows you to set up a home office within your residence</td> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'>Allows you to set up a small-scale business within your residence </td> </tr> <tr> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'>One-time permit required</td> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'>No permit or approval needed</td> </tr> <tr> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'>Mainly for administrative work only</td> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'>A wider range of businesses allowed</td> </tr> <tr> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'>Can hire up to two non-resident employees to work in your residence </td> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'>No hiring of employees, only residents staying with you are allowed to help</td> </tr> <tr> <td style='border:1px solid; padding: 8px'>Business must <b>already be registered with ACRA</b></td> </tr> </table><br>HBB can range from bakeries, home-made goods, accounting services, tuitions, consultancy, hairdressing, facials to even content creation! While there are more limitations for the Home Office Schemes, the Home-based Business scheme offers alot more flexibility and options.

Under section 5 of the Business Name Registration Act (BNRA), all types of business except those exempted must be registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA).</p> <p>You are considered a business if you intend to carry it out on a <b>continual basis</b> with the intention for financial gain and future expansion. In addition, registering your business has a lot of benefits to it.</p> <ul style='list-style-type: decimal'> </ul> <ul style='list-style-type: decimal'> <li style='padding-left: 8px; font-weight:bold; padding-bottom:24px'>Your business would look more legitimate<br><span style='font-weight:normal'>Potential customers and business partners would feel more comfortable and assured transiting with your business. As they would be able to search and verify information about your business via ACRA, it also makes it easier for potential customers to identify, find and transact with your business.</span></li> <li style='padding-left: 8px; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom:24px'>Easier to obtain financing and contracting on credit<br><span style='font-weight:normal'>Protect yourself from being unable to pursue any legal remedies. An unregistered business may find itself without any legal grounds to claim any liabilities (money owed) from its clients due to the lack of an enforceable contract.</span></li> <li style='padding-left: 8px; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom:24px'>Able to pursue contractual rights<br><span style='font-weight: normal'>Similarly, banks and investors would be more inclined to invest in your business if it appears more legitimate. In addition, registered businesses would have an opportunity to apply for <a href='https://www.enterprisesg.gov.sg/financial-assistance/grants' target='_blank' rel="noopener">government grants</a> available.</span></li> <li style='padding-left: 8px; font-weight: bold'>Might protect you from any liability<br><span style='font-weight: normal'>Registering protects you from your liability by allowing you to separate your business liabilities from your personal one, if you choose to incorporate a company or set up a limited liability partnership. In the event your business is sued, you are not in danger of losing your personal assets.</span></li> </ul> <h4>How to Register my Home-Based Business in Singapore</h4> <p>Registering your business is a very simple process and would only take up to 15 minutes. You can register to <a href='https://www.bizfile.gov.sg/ngbbizfileinternet/faces/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/BizfileHomepage.jspx' target='_blank' rel="noopener">Biz Files</a>, ACRA&apos;s online filing and information system. Your SingPass ID is required to log in and once your application is approved, you will receive a Unique Entity Number (UEN) which should be listed in all correspondence with government agencies, including HDB.</p> <p>For more information with regards to pointers to take note of and how to register a business, watch this space and follow The Collective for the next article!</p></body></html>
