Classic marketing mix variables (product, price, promotion and place) were considered for channeling the demand choices and responding appropriately the current market’s needs. As result, the proposal emphasizes on response to demand, product innovation and adding value. In addition, prices were established for satisfying the needs of craftsmen and buyers, mixed distribution strategy was set, and handicraft promotion by brand and logo was selected.
