For many years we have been messengers of the Mayan Culture and Calendar. We have a great many fans that regularly tell us how our information other services have benefitted their lives, for which we are grateful.
Another goal of ours has also been to find direct ways to support the indigenous Mayan culture that would result in self sustaining endeavors that directly affect the modern artisans’ lives and families.
For those of you that have had the opportunity to visit Central America and see decedents of the ancient Maya, you know how difficult it is for these indigenous peoples to maintain their ancient roots and traditions while still functioning in our modern world.
Charity is wonderful and necessary, but building sustainable businesses with regular distribution channels makes a much greater and permanent impact. Historically the primary market for the artisans and cottage industries in Guatemala has been the tourist trade which is very unpredictable and, over the last several years diminished.
Our objective is to create new distribution channels and diverse marketing opportunities through “on line” and other more traditional marketing and sales approaches for artisans we work with.
We are looking to work with a select group of Resellers to creatively do our part in expanding the markets and lifestyle sustainability of this wonderful ancient Mayan culture by offering these and other modern artisan products to a much broader audience.
We offer a range of products directly from Guatemala that is available at competitive wholesale pricing attractive to retail stores and other types of resellers. To see the different items visit our Artisan Market Store
If you are interested in getting involved, have a current store, sell at trade shows or have other ideas, please contact us to discuss how we can work together.
