What is The Creative Experts?
The Creative Experts wants to embrace all creative activities, which incorporate eye to hand co-ordination and all businesses, organisations and groups who seek to deliver and develop these activities with the UK general public.
The site aims to raise the profile of independent creative retailers by highlighting the services, products and technical know-how of each store in order to give consumers the ability to search for the right store for them.
Consumer Promotion for your store
Our Find a Business search allows consumers to find the public facing businesses and organisations involved in the creative world and what they have to offer.
Using the site's innovative map based interface, consumers will be able to quickly access a database of service providers, activity centres, clubs, retail outlets and much more. The map will also direct them to a wealth of user-generated content describing people's favourite locations, routes, videos, photos and other useful information.
