Where and How To Advertise a Craft Business.
John Wanamaker once said "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. Trouble is, I don't know which half."
Fortunately, in this modern digital age, the range of advertising opportunities is now much greater - as are the tools for successfully analyzing the results of your advertising campaign. With advertising packages starting at only a few dollars, being able to take your craft business to the customer is now within everyone's reach.
Advertising is essential for most businesses and once a craft business owner starts to understand more about their customers, they can find that their small size can be an advantage in helping them effectively target those customers.
This section is devoted to pages offering advice on advertising and networks that can help with the placing of advertising. If you know of an interesting page that we've missed, please let us know.
Don't forget to check out our Marketing and PR category for more ideas for how to promote your craft business.
