There is so much to learn and master in marketing a craft/art product. Marketing 101 will help you describe your product, identify your potential client, and figure out how to get your product in front of this illusive client.

You will learn to take the steps necessary to create a marketing plan that will target your individual market in the most cost-effective ways possible, in easy to follow steps.

There are a lot of handouts and hands-on exercises. So come prepared to learn and have a good time. Discover press releases, press kits, mailing lists, artist statements, just to name a few topics and all sorts of things you never knew you didn't know.

Marlene is author of the award-winning book about running a small jewelry design/craft business - "Profiting by Design" through the MJSA Press. If you'd like to read more about Marlene, please visit her website www.marlenerichey.com.
