Being a Fiskater (#2852) has changed my life. The social networking that takes place on the message board, sharing about our family and friends through the gallery and meeting other Fiskateers makes an impact. I have very close friends now in IL, FL, SC (several), CT, PA, and the list goes on. Fiskars as a brand has been supportive of the community members and of all the Certified Fiskars Demonstrators. The blog, to me, is the lifeline of the Fiskateers with our Five Leads. Fiskars products are inovative, designed with the cosumer in mind. It’s not about the product, its about the people who will own the product to enhance their stories. When you believe in a company it is not hard to share their products nor information concerning becoming a Fiskateers. Thank you for the brodcast and the continuing insight to Fiskateers and Word of Mouth. Thanks

But fiskars listens to all of us and actually asks us questions on what we’re looking for in the community they’ve changed the website around and listened to suggestions…they actually give us surveys and ask us to name their products or asking what we’re looking for…I could just go on and on about how well they treat us!

[...] brand comes under attack. But the reason they form a tight-knit community, one that some members say changed their lives, is because they share a passion for scrap-booking. The reason that Harley owners get together is [...]
