Business resources
for makers

Being a handmade business owner sometimes feels a bit like bobbing in the ocean...you're surviving, but there's no one around who know's what you're doing.

Here at Bloom, we are a community of makers who have found the answer to "what would you do for a career if you weren't being paid?"....except we'd like to be paid.

You are in the right place if you want to learn how to sell more of your work to the people who will love – and appreciate – handmade.

The Marketing School for Makers

KAtherine Autin, Kat's Jewelry Magic

When I found The Marketing School for Makers, I was dealing with a WordPress website: there was a lot of upkeep on it, my website needed constant development, and my web developer didn't understand what I was trying to do and couldn't keep up.

When I heard Lucy, she spoke to me: I felt that she "got" me. She created a system that anyone could follow: even someone like me who isn't "techy". 

She takes you through the concepts: it really has changed my mindset about my business, about being a designer...I felt like this was the right program for me.

I've leaned on this program and community: Lucy's guidance is amazing. I still go back to the course content periodically: it's a lifeline for me.

"It's a lifeline for me"

Elise Van Meerssche, The Jolly Upcycler

I love being part of a community. Every time I join the meeting with Lucy or Jenn I feel a boost of energy.

I've read many marketing books and follow some podcasts but I always feel like they don't talk to me. Being a maker is different and Lucy understands that.

Some weeks are hard and like everyone I have doubts on pursuing my little business but after each meeting I feel like I can do this!

"After each meeting, I feel like I CAN do this!"

During the covid lockdowns I found this course. I remember sitting at my kitchen table at 7:00 in the morning. Laptop, notebook, pen in hand. Anxiety and no self confidence that this would work for me.

As I worked through the lessons the anxiety turned to excitement and the lack of self confidence turned to "heck yea girl! Oh my gosh I'm amazing!" :)

Lucy explained everything so clearly. She broke it down into the perfect bite sized pieces. the next time I looked at the clock it was 3:00 in the afternoon! And I had a website up and running! I'll never forget that feeling of my heart racing because I accomplished something I never thought I could do.

"I accomplished something I never throught I could do"

kind words

I started my handmade business in 2010, and after setting up my craft table in more school gyms, church basements, parking lots, and fairgrounds than I could count, I realized that I did NOT love the constant ‘weekend hustle’ of setting up at shows nearly as much as I loved meeting the people who would buy my work.

I had this idea that makers like me had to set up at markets and fairs to make money...which was soooo 1997! With social media, blogs, email, and websites, I had the power to reach beyond my little community craft show and expand my reach farther than I could have possibly imagined. 

Fast forward to today, where I have helped hundreds of makers find and connect with people who will actually buy, without having to pop up at a market every weekend.

I invite you to come on in and join the Bloom community: I’d love to tell you how I can help you find the people who will buy your stuff!
