Improve Membership in a Crafts Group
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009Guilds and craft clubs are a wonderful way to share information about your craft and is an enjoyable social time. To get a group started or to help generate more interest in an existing group, prepare a small hand out and a flyer for community bulletin boards. Include the craft in very large lettering, such as, "KNITTING," or "BEAD WORKING." It will be the craft itself that attracts people's interest and not a cute name or a name like B.G. L.C., so make the craft itself the most prominent thing on your promotional materials. For more details www.greateducationonline.com Include a contact name for the group with an email address and a telephone number. If you can select a location and time for your first meeting, you might include that as well. Flyers and handouts can be done very inexpensively and can attract many members.
