Event Details
Local businesses are the heart and soul of our communities. They also create big economic impacts, by creating jobs, circulating profits, buying local products/services, and supporting local causes.
LOCO and the Sunshine Coast Business Recovery Centre are planning a workshop to help artists, craftspeople, farmers, and small product manufacturers plan effective marketing strategies to get their products in front of the right customers, both locally and throughout the province.
The workshop will cover:
- Identifying your ideal customer
- How to sell online direct to customer
- How to get representation from galleries and retail stores - what they want to see, how to get in front of them
- Guest speakers on how to sell into retail
- Interactive Q&A session
We will have several speakers with advice on how to market and sell directly online (Christine Pilkington, Crisp Media), and what retailers look for when bringing on new local suppliers (Bob Hoy, IGA Gibsons, Karen Weissenborn, Fresh from the Coast, and Tom Costie, Craft Coucil of BC).
Please register in advance. This event is free of charge thanks to our partners at the Sunshine Coast Business Recovery Centre. They have kindly opened registration to businesses outside the Sunshine Coast area.
