The Right Marketing Tools and Strategy for your Fiber Arts Business

You want to sell your art. Excellent! But how are you going to let the world know you are open for business? This webinar will guide you through developing your brand and creating the marketing tools and strategy that will help you successfully sell your art.

For a long time I dibbled, dabbled, and dreamed of selling my art as a business. Selling my art was so different than other businesses I’d done—it felt so personal! In 2010, I got serious and took an intensive 6 month course on the business side of art, changed many bad habits, and gained the confidence to sell my art by learning how to sell my art. Now, I teach other artists what I’ve learned through experience and training. 

What you'll learn:

• The difference between branding, marketing, and selling your art
• How to create your brand
• What marketing tools you need to sell your art
• Creating a marketing strategy that helps you sell your art
• How branding, marketing and selling work together for your business

Who should attend:

• Anyone who wants to make income from their artistic talents—be it at the once-a-year guild sale, part-time through a shop on Etsy or shows, or full time as your sole income source.
• Anyone with questions about branding and marketing your art

Each registration comes with access to the archived version of the event as well as any handouts referenced during the presentation.
