Entrepreneur and writer Meg Mateo Illasco is an expert at turning creative ideas into marketable products. Her latest book is designed as planner to assist you in setting up and running a creative business whether it’s a small Etsy shop or a larger-scale papergoods company.
From Chronicle Book‘s website: “Craft Inc. Business Planner — This action-oriented take-along planner is packed with advice and worksheets that guide creative entrepreneurs in their hot pursuit of profit. From big picture goals (writing a mission statement, developing marketing campaigns, launching a new line) to immediate to-dos (getting a business license, pricing products, packing for trade shows), this essential guide brims with how-to tips from industry experts. Roomy pockets catch important business cards, while tear-off notepad pages offer space to jot thoughts on the go. The lay-flat portfolio packaging makes this planner both easy to tote and durable enough to withstand all that the bumpy road to success may bring.”
Promoting your creative enterprise is a necessity for success: people need to be able to find you and your products! May we suggest taking an ad in the upcoming issue of UPPERCASE magazine? Our print ad rates are very affordable (starting at just $72 Canadian for subscribers) and in each issue we have a full page dedicated to Etsy sellers and small independent shops.
We will be holding a draw for a free copy of the Business Planner. To be eligible, you must be an indepedent seller or small company who commits to an ad space by November 13. Click here to contact us for more details.
Today we reached an amazing milestone: 800 subscribers! I am so grateful to each and every one of you — and those of you purchasing single copies through our shop and our amazing stockists: thank you! Congratulations to Jennifer M. who will receive a full library of the books we’ve published.
For our inaugural subscribers (issues 1,2,3,4) I’m setting up the renewal system and we’ll send you an email later this week with instructions on how to continue your subscription.
THANK YOU!!!
Look at this fabulous new Mag Nation location in Sydney! How I’d love to browse the magazines in this shop. Our magazines are on the way to Mag Nation shops in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland. (Please contact their shops first to see when the magazines are available: we ship to a freight forwarder in the USA who then sends them onward overseas, so it does take some time. I suspect it might still be a week or two before they arrive.)
For our blog readers down under, I’ve got a mission for you: I’d love to have a picture of UPPERCASE magazine in this amazing shop!
Thank you to Erin of the newly opened Collage Collage in Vancouver for stocking our little magazine for the creative and curious.
“Collage Collage is a place that strives to uphold the tremendous creative abilities that children have, in surrondings that adults find equally stimulating, provoking and above all, inspiring. Collage Collage is a store, a school, a gallery and a workshop for children and adults. It’s a place to find some art supplies, a story book, a small sculpture or a new pair of scissors.” Sounds marvelous!
Their workshops sound fantastic: I want to sign up for this one:
Inspired by Marcel Dzama, Mixing Colors
Drawing and Painting for 5-6 years
Students will experiment with a palette based on Dzama’s work. After reading a story book based on his work, and looking at some of the works of his collective, The Royal Art Lodge, children will be shown how Dzama mixes imagery from life and the imagination. Children will experiment with trying out their own dream-like creatures and then painting in their drawings. Ideas will start in a sketchbook warm up, and then move to large paper. Like Dzama, students will start with pencil drawings then layer ink and paint washes.
If you’re in Vancouver, go visit Collage Collage this weekend!
Not that this movie needs any more promotion, but I enjoyed John Coulter‘s Wild Things take on a classic candy ad. Some inspiration for the Confection call for submissions…
Now accepting submissions for our winter edition!
Sweets, spogs, candy, joy joy, goodies, toffees, chud, lollies— sugar laden confections go by as many names as they come in cavity-inducing shapes and sizes. Even if our teeth are past their sugar prime, the dazzling appeal of a fully stocked old time candy shop never wears off. Just imagine shelves of pastel rockets, misty mints, candy lipstick, pez, wig wag bars, Wrigley’s spearmint gum…
Even in childhood, the clever designs, pretty packaging, zany wrappers, colourful names and elegant detailing held as much appeal as the tasty treats tucked inside. The Confections show celebrates the fine art of candy packaging. We invite artists to illustrate and design their own wrappers in a timeless cele-bration of sweet tooths the world over. Come up with an irresistible cover for a novel treat or create a new design for an old favourite. Send us your eye candy!
The best designs will be featured in the winter issue of the magazine. Submit your artwork file via email info–at–uppercasegallery.ca (images should be at least 6 to 8 inches wide at 300dpi).
Deadline: November 10, 2009
Submissions may become part of a gallery exhibition at a later date. You will be notified if your submission is selected.
