GENERAL QUESTIONS
What exactly is Fair Trade?
Fair Trade is a market-based approach to alleviating global poverty and promoting sustainability. Fair Trade encompasses both economic and social development. Along with setting a fair price of goods and creating a safe working environment, it aims to improve the communities and livelihoods of the artisans. To learn about how MATR BOOMIE got started in Fair Trade, visit our About page.
Are your products really handmade? Who made them?
Of course! Each product is handcrafted using traditional art forms by artisans in India. You can find information about all of our partner artisans here. We partner with a network of 20,000 artisans in about 40 communities throughout India. Each has a unique story and art craft that they focus on. These products also help preserve some of these art forms.
Are your products environmentally friendly?
The majority of our products are made with environmentally friendly (natural, recycled, renewable, non-toxic) materials, and one of the values of Fair Trade is ensuring an eco-friendly working environment for the producers. Read more about our environmental and sustainability initiatives here.
Do you provide merchandising display options?
Yes, we have a number of display options available to suit your retail store's needs.
Do you provide drop-shipping services?
Unfortunately, MATR BOOMIE is unable to accommodate drop-ship requests at this time. We currently do not have the staff or resources to guarantee that items will always be in stock or available to ship immediately. Our order minimum, however, is only $200, which is considerably low and will hopefully help accommodate retailers with limited space for inventory.
MARKETING & EDUCATION
Can I use your artisan pictures and stories?
Absolutely! We have created a folder with white background and styled photos for our retailers to use. Please e-mail marketing@matrboomie.com to request access to this asset folder.
Can I use your product images?
