10 places you may never have thought of to promote your creative, craft or handmade business

Nearly every day I'm asked for new ideas, places and venues where creatives, crafters, artisans and handmakers can promote their businesses so here's my top 10 places to consider to promote your creative business

Remember to ensure beforehand that the venue will have the same potential customers as you wish to target!

And to maximise the opportunity, why not ask if you could hold classes or workshops where you can demonstrate or teach your skills at the same time!
