What does it take to craft a well-rounded business? Crafty entrepreneur Becky Johnson is traveling through Etsyville to share tips for exploring offline markets and other alternative revenue sources.
This workshop will cover the ins and outs of the craft show scene, preparing your business for wholesale and consignment, and we’ll even touch on tapping into community-driven revenue sources like Kickstarter.
Update: Watch the recorded workshop here!
About the speaker: Becky Johnson is a crafty renaissance woman and raconteur. Not only does she run her own business, the sweetie pie press, but she also organizes Toronto’s largest independent juried craft show, City of Craft. She provides insight into the craft show world as both an organizer and attendee: in fact, Becky claims to have done more shows around the globe than any other crafter! She’s currently traveling the world thanks to her successful Kickstarter campaign.

Kickstarter is amazing, there are so many brilliant ideas that fizzle out at the "I need money" phase, and it's a perfect way to get backing to create innovative products!!! My sister was able to fund her MFA Thesis with it! So glad crafters are catching on! :)

I just watched this video and was inspired by a few things. First off she loves what she does which translates into success. Secondly, she is not consumed by money. So inspiring. Thanks for sharing :) Trina

Speaking of rejection from small retailers, I got that a couple of times, but it did not bother me; it actually propelled me to make my decision about marketing on Etsy. Thanks for sharing these valuable tips. Adriana

Unfortuantly I won't be able to see it live, but it's a brill idea looks like it'll explain how alot of people have been through the same struggle time and time again, the same for myself also, I guess like every determined seller you have to plough on!
