This article focuses on the research conducted on the uses of social media marketing in promoting handicraft products. An overview is given on the main themes of craft enterprise in terms of the selling of products through social media. This helps to develop a fresh and emerging market area for artisan entrepreneurship. A range of online databases were searched to provide a comprehensive listing of journal articles on social media marketing and its execution in promoting handicraft products. Therefore, the aim of this literature review is to gather a broader overview of the field of 'social media marketing, handicraft items and artisan entrepreneurship', and to explore how these topics are related after concentrating on each area. The results are important to the theory and have valuable and direct impacts on social media marketing. This paper offers recommendations for future research on artisanal entrepreneurship.
