Michaels same-day delivery

Prior to the announcement, Michaels had already offered same-day delivery through Instacart. The retailer said it will continue to do so.

Looking ahead, the company said shoppers will be able to quickly and easily obtain products including but not limited to:

• Arts and crafts supplies and componentry
• Home decor
• Party-planning essentials

It added that consumers will be able to get these products for the same prices they would find in physical Michaels stores.

“Convenience, choice, and flexibility are central to a best-in-class omnichannel experience, and it’s more important than ever to deliver on that promise to our customers,” said Heather Bennett, executive vice president of marketing and ecommerce at Michaels. “Our partnerships with DoorDash and Uber Eats enable us to expand our same-day delivery offering, making our assortment available wherever and however customers want to shop while reaching new audiences and adding value for core customers.”

Michaels launches MakerPlace

In March, Michaels launched an online marketplace called MakerPlace. The marketplace for handmade goods and more competes with the Etsy marketplace.

“MakerPlace was designed with the goal of helping handmade artists and makers succeed with lower fees, flexible membership options and more ways to earn,” the company said in a May 2024 statement.

“Select MakerPlace sellers will be invited to sell directly to their community via their local Michaels Store, creating a new opportunity to drive exposure and sales for their independent handmade businesses,” the company added.

Etsy recently reported a slight drop in its gross merchandise sales for its fiscal second quarter. It also announced plans to launch a paid membership program called Etsy Insider.
