Seems the only ones making any money are the ones organising them. <br />Which is a shame as I see all these beautifully crafted items that have taken hours to make, only to be told they are too expensive.<br />Good luck with your new adventure xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663625483765842425.post-72557924668939063122013-06-10T07:37:51.769+01:002013-06-10T07:37:51.769+01:00Hi Emma

I make little pretty things as a hobby and I am only a beginner. I would so love to come to your workshops, they sound perfect for me, but sadly I live way too far away and am not aware of anything similar locally. Anyway GOOD LUCK with everything you are doing!

I take my hat off to you - your vision & plans for the future are awsome & I wish you every success. I think you have a very good business mind & that's so necessary in today's market. <br />I, like you do the 'day job' - I'm a Learing Support Tutor & although I enjoy my job, the dream was to craft as a job & make a living out of it. <br />I am totally with you about small craft fairs v the area we live in. I too have stopped making some items - for instance cross stitched cards may cost up to £5 to make but no one wanted to pay that so I sold them at £2.50 & even then there were the comments on the price... I only make them to order now for things like weddings or births etc. <br />Let's face it - south Wales is taking a battering & the recession is far from over here. I still go to fairs that only generate between £5 - £20 for me & taking out my costs makes no or very little profit. That said - although I want to be successful in my own little world I'm not sure if I'm up for giving it my all simply because of my age - at 55 I'm looking more towards what I'll do when I can retire so taking on more craft making/selling but in a more sedate manner may be the way for me I think...??? Does that make sense? LOL...<br />Anyway - I'm rambling...!!! You have a fantastic business so go for it..... xxx<br />Jo<br />Crafty Gifts & CardsCrafty Gifts & Crochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308824289134129842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6663625483765842425.post-67719015294277034402013-06-09T02:09:31.184+01:002013-06-09T02:09:31.184+01:00Inspiringly open blog post Emma. I can appreciate ...Inspiringly open blog post Emma. I can appreciate exactly where you're coming from. Really glad to have met you through that fyi Neath talk. <br /><br />Having read this post I found myself thinking a few things... 1.i can't see myself being this open on my soon to be blog www.efficienate.co.uk 2.it occurs to me that perhaps you need to identify who exactly you're ideal customer/s are and then take the time identifying the benefits and value that will justify to them £x price for x product. 3. I believe if you want to continue selling the small yet time consuming items them there's always a way, you just need to find the will to figure out the market for such. 4.i wondered what the business coaching program was? and lastly 5. I wonder what you're new products will look like. Very interesting post. Keep me informed. <br /><br />Ps. If you want £75 credit trying out Google adwords to target you're new ideas i can to so add a Google agent + I'll glady try and help you.<br /><br />Steve.
