What can an artisan do when demand decreases in handicrafts?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Improve product quality and design, and explore new markets
When demand falls, an artisan can improve the quality, design, usefulness, or packaging of products and look for new markets such as online platforms, local fairs, exhibitions, or new customer groups. This can increase sales by responding to changing customer preferences. Stopping production or destroying raw materials does not solve the problem and may increase losses. Exam tip: For questions on falling demand, prefer innovation, quality improvement, and market expansion.
