As a designer, business is my secondary skill within my work, but I am getting on okay so far, I mainly need help with marketing ideas.
I should state, I have had access to a large mailing list which belongs to my band, (who tour europe regularly, and enjoy moderate success as a cult underground rock band) and after announcing my website, have recieved most of my initial sales from my fans.
My website www.bugpop.co.uk is just up, after selling on etsy and at handmade shows for two years.
I specialize in unique, quirky, Limited edition and one-off Jewellery items, and try to keep my prices low (they're not TOO low though are they?)... I digress...
I am now looking to find out how to get my little treasures -
A - Into the style sections in magazines (i.e. do I send samples or images? Do I contact first with my website? etc)
B - How do I go about sending free pieces to celebs in the hope that they will wear them and be photographed? Is there more to it than that? Any ideas?)
I've plowed blood, sweat and tears into setting up this business, and want to go far. Any and all help/opinions/reflections/ and information would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
