How do I plan an effective website for my business? What are the rules for selling jewellery or silver pieces online? Is it worth having a website if I’m not selling online? As an emerging maker and developing business, these are common questions you may ask yourself as you consider how best to promote your brand and sell your work.
At this online Creative Links event, business and jewellery industry consultant Jon East will take you through a strategic approach to planning or reviewing your own business website. This non-technical, jargon-free talk will focus on the ‘what?’ and ‘why?’ - essential questions you should answer before even thinking about building your first webpage.
There will be a Q&A session and plenty of time to network, so lots of time to ask questions, engage in conversation and seek support after hearing from our guest speaker.
