Hello all,

Excuse me barging in, but I need some expert help.

I am the Network Manager for Kaqoo. We are re-vamping our categories and want to ask the experts what we should show under "Arts & Crafts"

"Beading". This is what we have at the moment:

Crystal, Lampwork & Glass Findings Kits & Patterns Loose Rhinestones Other Beads Seed Shell, Bone Stone Supplies Vintage, Antique

Have I missed anything obvious? Is there something I should add?

You can see the category here if it helps visualise it better:

I don't know that I would look for them under Arts & Craft. I normally go directly to the jewelry section. But I think they could go in either place.

That looks pretty good. there are also pewter or metal beads but they could go in other. Clay is another possible category. There is something to be said for dividing these things into handmade vs mfg or mass produced as that's a distinction with a difference. Also wholesale vs retail.

A lot of ppl who buy glass would like to differenciate between Czech, Chinese, Indian, etc. You might also have a category for precious metal.

Thank you all so much for your help so far. This is now what I have including some sub-categories:

You would not believe how difficult this can be sometimes! We had a huge discussion here about Arts & Crafts v Jewelry and just look at the first reply. :-)

Now I have a couple more questions from the topics you've raised about handmade and wholesale. Do you think I should add these as separate categories with some sub-categories? If so, which?
