Crafts Business - Home, Online or Shop

Be your own boss!

This course has been purposely condensed into a one day, jam-packed, low-cost "must-have". It is a great starting block / foundation for potential new business owners or anyone considering starting their own business.

It is an informative and informal day in a relaxed atmosphere with no hard-sell. We continually receive positive feedback about this course:

"perfectly pitched and perfectly priced for the novice or partially experienced business owner".

Customers should leave this course with enough basic knowledge to progress their dream of starting a crafts business.

Our New Business Course is aimed at people that have:

(a) Never been in business
(b) Do not know about "handicrafts"
(c) Both of the above

The first half of the day covers:

Skills required to run your own "crafts" business
Business styles (mobile, studio, workshop, craft fairs/craft fayres, online retailing, commissions and gifts)
Advantages, disadvantages of running your own business
Pricing craft products and services (profit, breakeven figures, calculating recommended selling prices/RRPs, hidden costs, direct costs, indirect costs)
Packaging
Services and goods
Competition
Other specific business requirements (e.g. health & safety, licences, employment, payroll, consumer rights, insurances, accounts, planning classifications, disclaimers, stock levels and margins etc)
Sales and marketing
Selling tips (writing press releases, target market etc)
Stock selection & advice
Support

In the afternoon, there is a practical "crafts" session. Delegates will be introduced to Decoart and Decopatch products and will have the chance to create some samples to take home.
