Tips & techniques on how to sell your handmade crafts easily, confidently & successfully : Introducing one of my Stampin' Up! favourites Sam Sweetlove & Crafty Little Bling!

I've something new for you over the next week or so!

I'm going to be introducing you to some of my favourite fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators and their work - I've handpicked them all personally for their Stampin' Up! style, flair, composition, ideas, creativity & general all round craftiness ;)

First up is my fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator from Deanshanger, Northants - Sam Sweetlove. Sam's been happily stamping and scrapbooking with Stampin' Up! since 2012 with many crafty years preceding that!

Sam's also a scrapbooking superstar with her creations gracing magazine pages as Design Team member of the infamous Scrapbooking Magazine.

Sam also runs craft classes in Deanshanger and works her crafting magic around her husband, two children & day job! Phew!

A couple of months ago I asked you about increasing interaction on my page & you gave me advice around engagement and asking questions to my customers building up trust. Since doing this I have noticed that my interaction talked about figures have gone up people are engaging more in my posts and we are building up trust which had resulted in a few more sales!

I started to make jewellery as a hobby in 2010 since then i have gathered various skills, which has caused customers at work, friends and family to say "oooh you should sell your creations". I fumbled around with advertising, a single fair and a couple of car boots. I found i wasn't doing very well and started to get frustrated and looked for help. I immediately found Marketing Creatively and since then everything has changed for my business and I! Using the 50 "cardinal rules" (as i call them) and every single piece of information i can suck from your blog, I am starting to expand my reach ten fold, i am finding networking much easier and much more focused, I am now blogging, which to my surprise is a big hit, and i am also planning to do tutorial videos and contact my local newspapers and such to get a bit of coverage. All in all I can't thank you enough. You have been such a great inspiration and help and I know I couldn't have done it without your support, and the support.
