and our computer technician Brian, here in Taxco,
over the past 12 months, a revolutionary technology has been born, |
The AODDM Shopping Cart Version 1.0. |

Dear friends, we have been doing business with ArtCamp since 1997.
You have been a partner in our growth and continued business
with the National Parks of the United States .
It is with great pride that we are consistently able to provide them
with truly beautiful artwork at very reasonable prices.
The women of the cooperative should be extremely proud
of all they have been able to accomplish on very small budgets and markups.
Without your attention to detail and ability to go above and beyond what is expected of you,
we surely would not be in the same place we are today.
It is with great pride that we continue our relationship with ArtCamp.
Thank you for all you do, day in and day out!
Muchas Gracias! Walt & Cheryl Cleary

Have you ever been disappointed in the past with handcrafts you ordered from a group
in the Third World? - there are so many things that can go wrong - it is a hard business!
That is why we have been working hard for a long time to organize the cottage industry
capability that has always been at the heart of our artisan communities around Tecalpulco.
We have much experience over the years, and advantages other groups may not have.
One thing we do know is that this has to work for our customer or it wont work at all. |
| |
We are totally dedicated to making sure that everything works for you, our customer;
This is the formula for our success and that of other artisan groups.
OUR GUARANTEE If there is a quality problem (YOU be the judge), or mistaken count,
or error on the shipping list or invoice, or any other problem at all,
all you have to do is call this to the attention of Andrea Gonzalez,
she will issue the return of your money or whatever satisfies you. 
All such claims WILL be settled in your favor. That is our guarantee.
You can have your money back via PayPal, or whatever you prefer. Let us be friends and good business partners.
We make the jewelry and you proudly sell it to your customers who,
like yourself, like the idea of helping creative and industrious artisans. |

As Mexican village women we have always been poor; our parents and grandparents
and our great grandparents we also poor we know something about how hard it is to get ahead.
Just as we poor Mexican village women and craftswomen
have surmounted our problems and become successful, by forming our cooperative,
so now we want to go into business with you, for the benefit of all! 
THANK YOU for being our friend, and for buying from us.

If you want to be of assistance to a worthy hard-working group,
get ready to celebrate, because you did very well to have met us! When it comes to handcrafted jewelry, we know what we are talking about.
Our parents were artisans they were the authors of the abalone shell jewelry
that was popular around the world in the 1980s; and our grandparents were
village producers of the decorative art and jade pendants of the ancient Aztecs. |

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?
It means that you can gain access to quality products you can re-sell at retail to make good money.
The price to you is so good that you can even re-sell the products at wholesale to other retailers!
This is an exciting pilot-project designed to benefit artisan producer groups
by providing for the success of their customers, retailers in the USA, Canada, and Europe.
In order to insure that the artisan groups become successful,
it is first necessary to make sure that the commercial partners of these groups (ie the retailers, and dealers)
become successful.We know that our customers have to become successful, before we may become succesful Thus, this is an excellent opportunity - a REAL opportunity for you - to collaborate directly
with the workshops that creat new designs and expertly transform raw materials into finished products. |

and commercial bridges directly to retail stores in the U.S.
Since our contact, the Artcamp Cooperative
has supplied "Un Solo Pueblo" with inventory for two of our outlet stores.
The persistence and hardwork-gains of the women and their families
have showed great vision for success. ***The Artcamp group has the experience and desire
to be productive and competitive on an international level. Un Solo Pueblo endorses ArtCamp. Furthermore, we are interested in making new product designs, providing the artisans with quality stones and materials for their inventory.
With our new plans for a "culture cafe"
we intend to use multi-media for marketing cultural exchange programs.

ARTCAMP plays an important role for a growing number of crafts producers
and small family workshops in the villages of Tecalpulco
and Taxco El Viejo, Guerrero, Mexico . In addition it has managed
to create permanent jobs for several people whom are employed full-time by the cooperative working at the central workshop
in the city of Taxco de Alarcón. By targeting these producers ARTCAMP fights the ongoing migration wave to the USA and provides an alternative source of income to rural crafts producers.
Through the combination of modern technology and the excellent artistic skills of the craft producers ARTCAMP assures top-quality products with a very competitive edge (price-wise). The ARTCAMP cooperative deserves our full support
in both its commercial and social endeavors. Rob van Weer, the Netherlands, Europe |
