Set Yourself Up For Success!

  • Pricing your work: consider the cost of supplies, the average price of similar work in your area and online, additional business expenses including equipment and advertising, etc. 
  • Social media marketing: Research the best social media channels for your desired audience and develop a consistent presence there. We’ve found sharing short video content, behind the scenes content, and relatable embroidery jokes can help the right people find you.
  • Setting up your business: Look into setting up an LLC or corporation for this venture based on your specific circumstances. You may wish to consult a professional for this part. 
  • Establishing vendor relationships: Find ways to connect with other textile artists and makers. We like to start by attending vendor events in the area and building connections with other vendors and host organizations. There are also many Facebook groups for creative business owners to trade tips!
