    OK i've moved this to the markting forum as that seems to be what advice you need.

    Sending loads of emails does not work. You need to educate yourself on marketing as a skill and then try some different approaches.

    You are in a different country so are you selling your craft in your own country or to another?

    Who exactly are you trying to sell the product to, are you wanting to sell direct or to retail outlets to sell on your behalf?

    Would it be better to partner with a company or individual in the Uk that could champion the product on your behalf - basically an exclusive Uk dealership that could then sell on to other resellers or direct to the consumers.

    If you're selling direct to consumers then you're up against it, without having a much more comprehensive direct marketing campaign. I would suggest this avenue is a non-starter.

    If you want to organise resellers yourselves then you need to research what kind of outlet would sell these products. A good start would be garden centres and you may find that a more direct approach (i.e. not emails) would help. Research garden centre chains in the UK, find where their central buying office is and approach them directly send them some printed marketing material and then following it with a phone call.

    Hope that's enough to help get you started.

    You could also look for online gift shops and see if any will feature your products
