As a continuation of my craft show series over on the Buzz Blog, I’m sharing a  checklist of what to bring with you to a craft show.  My last post in this series was all about how set up your displays at a craft show to attract more shoppers.

I had the most productive afternoon…I worked on the 2 e-courses/workshops that I am planning and I wrote up a total of 8 pages of notes and I just feel so accomplished!

So, what is it that I have in the works? Well, I’m planning on presenting 2 interactive e-courses on how to get featured on blogs and another on creativity.

Everything is obviously still in the planning stages, but I hope it sounds exciting to you. In fact, I’m wondering just how exciting it sounds and I’d love it if you filled out my little survey, so I can gauge the interest. There’s only 6 basic yes/no questions, so it won’t take any time at all and I’d really appreciate it!

Take the survey

*Please note, I will not be collecting any email addresses from this survey. My newsletter/ survey provider just requires an email to validate your existence.

For all those who are self-employed and have questions about online advertising, I shared 10 Tips for advertising on blogs over on the Buzz Blog. It’s one of the most common areas I’m asked to give advice about, so I thought you all might like to read it.

Buzz is here! “What’s Buzz?” you ask. Well, it’s my new PR company for small indie businesses. I’ve had this in the works for a while and I’m so excited to be finally debuting it for you today!

Calling on my experience in both the indie design world & the non-profit world,  my goal is to promote small  independent businesses by helping them to effectively communicate their business to the world. Services include: business branding; press-kit creation; website content, pitch & news release crafting; as well as PR repping.

I want to do the work that you don’t have the time or knowledge to do—as well as help you learn how to do your own PR work…thereby making myself irrelevant, I know, but earning some good karma.

Prices are ridiculously reasonable and meant to be affordable for indie biznesses. I will also only be taking a small number of clients at a time, so I can make sure to give individual attention to you & your PR needs.

Find out more HERE and/or contact me for more info HERE. You can also sign-up for the newsletter HERE.

And if you decide you need some Buzz,  I am offering 20% off all Buzz services for new customers for the month of March!
