As 2012 comes to a close, with new sights for 2013, we have many reasons to be happy.

Here are a few of them.

– We are in high demand and we are being found by many who would like to showcase their work

– Our ARTE fairs receive increasing amounts of footfall, souk after souk.

– We receive fantastic and positive feedback. Any constructive criticism we receive are taken into consideration

– We have reached more than 8000 LIKES on our facebook pages and many of our blog posts go viral.

But, what matters the most to us are the stories that vendors share with us:

– I have had such a lovely day

– I made a new friend

– it is a social outing for me

– I sold well

– I have had such lovely feedback

Testimonial by ‘ Kinda Like Wasabi‘

“Another successful day at the last ARTE souq of the season…thanks to all you guys!!! Our heartfelt gratitude to our new and our old customers. To all those who stopped by with their lovely words of appreciation and encouragement. Also special thanks to those of you who spread the word and your love for KLW! And of course to all of you who liked our work and our page :D! We are amazed with the response and results each time and it would be impossible without you…”

Testimonial sharing profound words by Hitesh Kanwar of Paper Curves:
“First of all a big thank you to everyone on Team ARTE for organising ARTE and providing all the help. I see so many new fairs coming up (I attended a few) and I can see the great amount of difference between those and ARTE. The way in which you guys handle, communicate and promote( and give feedback), it shows the love with which you do it. Hats off to you.”

This is just a snapshot as to the joy that we bring to vendors who support us souk after souk.

Sure, we have some strong 2013 goals for ARTE. One goal is to improve the quality of product, and vendor displays. Offer creative help for new products and product displays. And finally, we are planning to introduce a Pinterest page featuring ARTE products.

But it is Your success at ARTE that makes us love what we do. Your good experience is one more than we have and for that we are grateful.

Wishing you a fantastic 2013 and see you at the ARTE souks commencing in January 2013.
