About Well Made
The focus of the current Guildhouse website is on our members, the services we provide and
our unique collaborative projects.
The Well Made marketing program will target the broader general public, local government
and commercial audiences both nationally and internationally.
As a marketing and potential sales platform, Well Made is designed to promote Guildhouse
members and provide an ongoing and dynamic marketing pathway for South Australian artists
and their work, which is essential in today’s information rich environment.
As a marketing platform for South Australian artists, Well Made will also increase the capacity
and effectiveness of the Guildhouse Referral Program, an existing yet under realised
commissioning program that targets individual collectors, education, curators, commissioning
agencies, the building industry, the corporate gift market, and local and state governments.
With an enhanced capacity to manage the program and greater promotion through the Well
Made platform, Guildhouse aims to increase sales for artists as well as the commissioning and
production of unique, handmade objects and services to a new online clientele.
