In the home improvement sector, many small business are launched by creative types who are particularly good at what they do – interior and building designers, colour consultants and interior decorators, cabinetmakers and painters: most do what they do because they love it and are darned talented too, so why do many small businesses in this industry fail?
Poor planning and cash flow management, and meagre marketing and sales strategies will eventually take their toll on even the most sought-after designers or tradespersons. Understanding your business – working on it and not just in it, as the old saying goes – is critical in keeping your head above water, and developing and maintaining a thriving, successful and saleable business.
Designer Training has developed a new Business Series specifically for those in the home improvement sector. With short courses covering ‘Marketing you and your business’, ‘Small Business Essentials’, ‘Business Planning’ and ‘Sales Success’, Designer Training will share with you the tools and inspiration required for a successful creative business.
Courses are delivered face to face, and suit both those new to the industry, and those looking for some professional development or motivation.
