Being creative means different things to different people. To some, it’s having the luxury of personal expression at work; to others, a decadent escape from a frenzied 9 to 5 existence. And for those who dare to dream — like Toh Shia Lynn — it is a way of life.
T.A.C founder, Toh Shia Lynn
Since its inception in 2008, The Artsy Craftsy has evolved from being her personal blog into Malaysia’s leading creative lifestyle blogazine. In this post, we’ll explore how Pocketbook enables her to offer her readers and partners more value; beyond quality content and great ideas for their Pinterest boards.

Looking for a workshop to nurture your creativity over the weekend? The Artsy Craftsy works with selected artists to offer a range of classes. Just last month, 5 workshops were held at T.A.C Studio and tickets were sold online using the Quick Buy feature. Within minutes of setting up her inventory, Shia Lynn could start selling tickets across multiple social channels, without having to write a single line of code. With Pocketbook taking care of ticket sales and online payment, Shia Lynn and the artists could focus on the workshops rather than spending time on routine, administrative tasks.

Having established itself as a quality resource for all things crafty, the Artsy Craftsy is an ideal platform for creative entrepreneurs looking for more exposure. Shia Lynn offers various advertising and promotional packages, and uses Pocketbook to automate tasks like invoicing, issuing payment reminders and receipts. Previously, Shia Lynn used a US-based ad monetising service but its hefty fees prompted her to look for an alternative.

Shia Lynn also accepts commissioned work and special gift orders under the T.A.C Shop brand. Before using Pocketbook, she would process orders and payment manually, a tedious and inefficient process. Now she can work more efficiently and channel her energy towards taking The Artsy Craftsy to the next level!
Watch out! More creative stuff will be coming your way soon
