Make it Pay Saturday 7th July!



The most creative, inspiring & fun event about selling
for designers & crafts people


I'm going to be talking about Social Media at 'Make it Pay' this year, it should be an amazing day - here are a few details, I hope some of you can make it.

On 7th July from 10am – 4pm at the Hub in King Cross the Design Trust launches its flagship event on selling; “Make it pay”.  This is a one-day event that has been specifically produced to support designers and crafts people to develop their knowledge and skills on selling.
Make it pay is for designers and crafts people who want to sell, learn, share and do!  More than 25 contributors will be running various sessions throughout the day.  All attendants can pick and mix sessions to create a programme that is best for their business. Sessions range from practical training workshops on negotiating and pricing, expert panels on online selling and promotion, presentation competitions, discussions on issues such as ‘selling out’,  interactive games to develop pitching skills, talks with online retailers and agents and  1-2-1 reviews and advice on marketing materials and websites. 
Patricia van den Akker, Director of The Design Trust says, 
‘We really want to show creatives all the different aspects around selling and marketing, and how much fun it can be to talk to, work and build a relationship with clients.  With so many contributors and different ways to learn, we want everybody to leave the Hub excited and motivated to sell better, full of inspiration and with lots of business cards of new friends.’

There are only 100 tickets available in total, so it's going to be a very exclusive event.
