| "I met James at a time when my business was fizzling to a standstill. Until then, I had a sporadic retail craft business with which I was feeling burnt out. After reading his books, my business took on a new life. I changed my product slightly and the response was remarkable! My first order was triple what I had planned for, and other orders are pouring in! I continue to look to James for inspiration and I love his approach. Because of the techniques I learned from him, my business is thriving." ~ Cathy Marble, Chamisa Hill Designs |
Without
Proven Craft Business Advice, You'll Get Very
Frustrated By Two Gigantic Problems
1) You don't know what you don't know. The most important and neglected question craft artists rarely ask themselves is "What is it that I don't know about marketing my pieces?"
2) Something everyone knows: it's a fact that the number of good craft shows that can actually make you money are shrinking, while booth rental fees and the number of competitors is rising. Crafts shows that produce results today can be out of business next year!
The keys to creating a successful craft business are knowing where the best shows are and what additional markets exist for handmade crafts. You'll never be at the mercy of changing circumstances when you know for yourself which marketing promotions really work.

information is not available elsewhere. Here
