Houston Beaders Guild
Announcing -- the
establishment of the Houston Beaders Guild!
We are a group of Houston-area crafters and artists
who are interested in beadwork and beads, with a focus on selling our work
online.
The HBG has been formed to enable our members to
share information, ideas, links, etc. regarding beadwork and marketing of our
hand-crafted jewelry. Join today
– you’ll like it!
Here’s a list
of the benefits of membership you receive when you join:
- Meet with other beaders
ONLINE and exchange posts in a forum designed to support beadwork artists.
- You’ll
get a newsletter once a month via EMAIL with stories from your fellow
members about their experiences and results. Looking for something
particular in a finding or a new technique? Post a request in the newsletter
to reach those who aren’t reading the forum.
- Discuss
what is unique about running a business around your beadwork.
Get tips that can help you realize a profit.
- Learn about how to
display and sell your work online on consignment, without losing control of
your inventory or missing other sales.
- Not
enough traffic on your Website? How
would you know? Learn how to
track the source of your visitors, and what they are looking at.
- You
don’t have a website? Or you
do, but perhaps you want to make it work harder by actually selling your
jewelry through it. Where do
you start? How much does it
cost? (NOTE: You don’t start by hiring a computer gal/guy.)
- Have
you thought advertising is too expensive…but you still want to attract
customers for your beadwork? Learn
some ways to raise your profile for free.
If you don’t have
time to socialize or attend local meetings in person with fellow beaders,
you’ll want to join the Houston Beaders Guild.
It costs just $20 a year.
