Why: As a business owner, you are part of the economic ecosystem that is commerce. How you move in that ecosystem not only determines your success, but also affects others — consumers, businesses, and the entire circular supply system.
Part 1: Professionalism & Stepping Into “Capital B Business”
Many folks in our PNW fiber economy start with passion and determination, not always a business degree. Many folks tread humbly, saying, “Oh this? This is just a hobby — I just love wool!” No matter how your business started, it is important to the health of the entire PNW natural fibers & textile ecosystem that you treat yourself and your business professionally.
In this seminar, we will discuss what it means to be a Fiber Professional and ways to step into your role within the concept of the whole PNW fiber economy. In one way or another, your community may actually depend on it.
Part 2: Merchandising & Booth Design
Sometimes small changes to your product presentation can make all the difference when it comes to sales. In this seminar, we will examine how the manner in which you set up your shop or booth at events can effect sales and look at some examples of effective & successful booth design.
