We’re celebrating 15 years of Felt this month! Since 2007, we’ve been providing thousands of New Zealand makers with a platform to connect with customers and thrive. To mark the occasion, we’re taking a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come and enjoy a little trip down memory lane.
For Felt’s 15th birthday, we’re taking a little peek behind the scenes and finding out the important stuff. What is the story behind Felt’s name? Where, exactly, does Felt reside? What do two chickens and an Irish Wolfhound have to do with anything? Here’s 15 facts you might not know about Felt.
This month we’ve rounded up statistics from the last two years, and taken a look at what Felt looks like in the COVID era, from traffic and sales, to demographics and devices. Based on what we’ve observed, we’ve also come up with some tips for you to try out in 2022!
This Friday 1 May, we’re releasing the exciting final phase of mobile friendly Felt: the listing process. Felt may be briefly offline between 9.30 and 10am on Friday as we go live with the update. Next time you visit Felt to list something new, or edit an existing listing, you’ll be able to do it from your phone or tablet, and you get to take these shiny new tools for a spin!
This week on Felt, we’ve updated the way that Felt handles your profile. This won’t change anything for you immediately, but you will notice the difference when you edit your profile.
Felt is about to embark on our biggest adventure yet, and we want you along for the ride! On August 12, we’re launching our very first equity crowd funding campaign, raising capital to take Felt to the next level. If investing in Felt sounds exciting to you, join our special campaign mailing list to stay in the loop as we count down to launch day.
