Every season has its moment, and every celebration holds potential. From major national holidays to quirky local events, the calendar reminds us who we are—and offers countless opportunities for those ready to make it work for them. Why not turn these dates into your creative advantage?
Join our workshop, Make the Calendar Pay, where we’ll explore how key dates and seasonal celebrations can become valuable platforms for developing and selling unique products. From gift items and festival-inspired art to hands-on workshops, we’ll dive into examples of creative businesses that thrive by simply keeping an eye on what’s coming up. Time is money, and for creatives, it’s also inspiration!
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
• Identify the best calendar dates that fit your creative niche and audience
• Develop products and services that build anticipation and boost sales
• Craft a marketing strategy aligned with seasonal excitement
• Explore creative ways to fill gaps in the calendar with fresh, new offerings
