Would
you like to make money from your crafts?
Hi,
My name is Jacque
Barns, over five years ago I gave up my career as an account manager to
sell my Handmade greetings cards full time, it took me two years to go
from zero sales to selling thousands of cards per month through over seven
hundred and fifty retail outlets.
Now I want to help
you make that same break and offer you discounted supplies, if you're serious about making money from your
craft work then read on!
A billion pound
business
The gift and card industry is a billion pound market (£1.2 Billion
of card sales in the UK alone), whatever it is you make, be it cards,
pottery, framed pictures etc. there is a massive world wide market for
it, look around at your own town or village, how many gift shops, card
shops or art shops have you noticed, not to mention many other shops that
now also sell gifts and cards (Petrol stations, The post office, Newsagents)
we're talking big business with shop owners crying out for something new
and exciting that will give them more sales, more profits and more customers,
that something could be yours!
How much will it
cost to get started in this billion pound market?
I started with just twelve card designs, I just made up twelve designs,
showed them to retailers, took the orders, went home and made the orders
up, and I still use that same method today when researching new products.
That's all you have to do, there's absolutely no need to invest large
amounts of money whatsoever.
Retailers are waiting
to buy your product!
Imagine thousands of people all over the country, sitting, waiting to
buy your product, BUT THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. When
you join An artist in business you'll discover how to find these people
and how to get your product in front of them, imagine how many sales you
could get from just three of these people a week.
Retailers don't
have time to source new products
If you've attended a craft fair, market or boot sale selling your products,
chances are that a shop owner has already checked out your goods, they
may have even asked you about trade prices and terms, this is how some
retailers find new products, but most retailers haven't time to source
products they have to open and run their shop! They rely on people like
you and me coming to see them.
You'll discover how to:
Approach Buyers and get your product in front of them.
What to say and what to do when meeting Buyers.
Get and make appointments with Buyers.
I'll also tell you how to Find someone else to sell your products for
you!
Perhaps you don't have time to sell your own products or simply don't
like the idea, I'll tell you how to find someone that wants to sell it
for you, they're also crying out for new products (they depend on them
to get appointments), Imagine having your product shown to several buyers
each and every day of the week, how many sales do you think they could
get for you?
You'll learn
how to:
Find a good sales agent.
When to pay them.
How much to pay them
What if I don't
want to sell to shops!

that are ready to take advantage of you, and your products, and how to
protect yourself.
