A Year of Creativity & Community Giveaway
AS A CREATIVE BUSINESS OWNER, it is easy to become overwhelmed with all of the steps required to be successful. How do you obtain wholesale partnerships? Where can you buy your supplies in bulk? How can you better your craft? How can I run this one-person show all by myself? What systems can I put in place to be more efficient and productive? Is there a way to outsource the parts of my work that make my head explode?
At Dear Handmade Life, we work every single day to give you the opportunities and resources to empower you not only to make it through the day (as Craftcation presenter Lela Barker would say) “without tears or tequila”, but to help you and your business flourish.
We have partnered with our friends at AFCI (Association for Creative Industries) to offer you an epic giveaway! This giveaway is meant to inspire and motivate you as well as give you the tools to help you take your creative business to the next level.
ABOUT CRAFTCATION
Craftcation: Business & Makers Conference, is our annual four-day conference held in the artsy seaside town of Ventura in Southern California. Our nationally-known conference features industry experts leading attendees in small business smarts and creative craft workshops as well as social gatherings to connect and foster community through activities and inspiration. You’ll find that you not only will you make new friends, but you’ll reconnect with yourself too.
ABOUT AFCI
Nicole has been a member of AFCI (formerly CHA – Craft & Hobby Association) for a number of years and her membership has benefited several her businesses. AFCI’s annual convention, Creativation, is always an awesome place to see what’s next in the craft world and keep up with trends as well as connect in-person with fellow creatives. They also have a lot of workshops and tons of wholesale suppliers all in one place! Building your network and skills is essential to running a sustainable business (that’s why we started Craftcation!) and along with Craftcation, AFCI is great way to do just that.
