PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is from 2020 – some of the details may be out of date as Pinterest likes to move things around and change things. But the majority of info is still relevant, especially if you’re a newbie!

Did you know that 90% of weekly Pinterest users have made purchasing decisions based on something they’ve seen on the platform?

If you’re not taking advantage of this hugely popular platform to drive traffic to your biz – you’re missing out.

To prepare for the #PinterestChallenge project I’m running in September, we’re taking a dive into how to use Pinterest for your biz this month in Create & Thrive land – including a workshop later this week inside the Thriver Circle!

In this workshop, I’ll outline why Pinterest is an excellent choice of marketing tool – especially for handmade business; share some stats for how much it is growing, and the reach it has; and give you a ‘quick-start’ guide to get your Pinterest Business account up and running (there are some KEY tweaks that will make a big difference for how well it works for you!).

My goal is to inspire you to dive into the world of Pinterest, and see what impact it can have on your business.

If you’re already a Pinterest expert… you probably won’t learn anything new. But if you’ve let your Pinterest marketing strategy lapse – or if you’ve never used Pinterest for business (or at all!) then this is the perfect workshop to get you up and running.

Also – if you aren’t a big fan of regular social media – THIS is your best choice for getting traffic to your website, without having to share much of your personal life or self online.

Do you ever feel like you get ‘stuck’ in the day-to-day of your business?

Do you find time has gone by, and you wonder ‘what have I achieved’ today… this week… this month… or even, this year?

This often comes about because we get caught up in the urgent tasks in our business – filling orders, answering emails – and neglect the important long-term planning and business development that actually moves our business forward.

In this workshop, I outline my advice on why – and how – to have a planning day. One that will not only be super-effective, but also, super-enjoyable!

Do you know who your Ideal Customer is? Do you even know who your current customer is – the demographic of the people who most often buy your products?

If not, this workshop is for you. We’re going to cover what an Ideal Customer is; how to create a Ideal Customer Avatar that you can use to help you write all your business copy (blog posts, product descriptions, social media posts etc.); and how and where you can find and connect with your Ideal Customer.

If you ever find yourself struggling to connect with the people who want what you make – or if you struggle with the tone of voice and language to use in your marketing, this workshop will be super-helpful.
