Emma Collins: Let's Talk Business

My week at docrafts HQ started on Sunday. The Design Objectives Open Day event is a 4 day event focused on supporting it's customers (retailers from across the country, oh and across the sea) by educating them further in the world of craft, social media and innovative product.

Design Objectives deliver real added value to their customers and they have been pulling out all the stops with their hospitality and motivation. It has been so much fun so far and I have been lucky enough to talk to some very inspiring business owners. Unfortuntly time and understanding of Social Media has been lacking but being on hand to educate, motivate and show examples of success has been very rewarding.

This event has also been a massive confidence boost for myself and, although suffering from a sore throat and chesty cough which makes me sound very husky (I know I have your sympathy) I have enjoyed every moment of talking to craft business owners very much.

Thursday I shall be talking to apx 50 craft demonstrators and sharing my top tips on self promotion. Friday is the very first Creativity Club event day with only 35 Creativity Club members coming along for a day packed with nothing but fun and craft education! I will also be talking to individuals throughout the day about self promotion and the use of social media.

I feel very blessed to be able to finally offer my 11 years of knowledge to a wonderful industry.
