Stop Wondering What to Promote Next in Your Creative Business
If you’ve followed Patchwork Posse for a while, you probably know I love talking about quilting. But there’s another topic I get just as excited about… building a creative business.
I’ve been running my own creative business for more than 17 years, learning (sometimes the hard way!) what works, what doesn’t, and how to create systems that make business feel a whole lot less overwhelming. For the past two years, I’ve also had the privilege of helping other creative business owners inside my Patchwork 2 Paycheck (P2P) Growth Hub, where we focus on planning, accountability, and actually following through on our goals.
That’s why I was excited to be invited to teach at the Crafting for Profit Camp. This event isn’t about learning a new craft project—it’s about learning how to build a stronger creative business. Over three days, you’ll hear from experienced creative entrepreneurs sharing practical workshops on marketing, pricing, selling, productivity, and so much more. You’ll also have access to a private Facebook community where you can ask questions, connect with other attendees, and get support as you work through the sessions.
I’ll be teaching a workshop called:
Stop Guessing What to Promote Next
Create a Promotional Calendar That Makes Selling Easier
Have you ever sat down at your computer, looked at your shop, and thought…
“Now what should I promote?”
Maybe you’ve launched a new product, sent an email, or posted on social media… and then found yourself wondering what comes next.
A few weeks go by.
Then a holiday sneaks up on you.
Before you know it, you’re scrambling to put together a sale or write an email because you realize you haven’t promoted anything in a while.
I’ve been there.
For years, I planned promotions one at a time. It worked… until it didn’t.
I found myself repeating the same cycle over and over:
- Wonder what to promote.
- Throw something together.
- Hope it worked.
- Repeat.
It wasn’t a very good business strategy.
Everything changed when I started planning my promotions for the entire year.
Not because I suddenly became more organized (I wish it were that easy!), but because I finally had a roadmap.
Instead of asking…
“What should I promote this month?”
I already knew.
Instead of creating every promotion from scratch…
I could improve what worked last year.
Instead of feeling overwhelmed…
I could spend more time creating and less time stressing.
Join Me at the Crafting for Profit Camp
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start planning with confidence, I’d love to invite you to the Crafting for Profit Camp, happening October 1–3.
During my workshop, I’ll walk you through the exact planning system I use to organize promotions throughout the year.
You’ll learn how to:
- Plan your promotions before the year gets away from you.
- Create a simple promotional calendar you’ll actually use.
- Repeat what’s working instead of starting over every month.
- Make marketing feel easier and more consistent.
Whether you sell handmade products, patterns, printables, digital products, or teach classes, this system works because it’s flexible and easy to customize for your business.
Bonus for All Access Pass Holders
If you decide to purchase the All Access Pass, I’ve put together something special for you. I am so excited about sharing this with you!! I have had this membership for around 2 years – it’s such a joy for me to chat with others in the industry, help them get clear on their goals and move their business forward.
From Plan to Progress
Enjoy a complimentary month inside the P2P Growth Hub (a $29 value).
We’ll take the promotional calendar you create during the workshop and actually put it into action.
Inside the Growth Hub you’ll join other creative business owners as we:
- Build monthly action plans.
- Work together during Admin Days.
- Brainstorm ideas and solve business challenges.
- Stay accountable and celebrate progress.
Because making the plan is only the beginning…
Following through is where the magic happens.
I’d love to see you there!
