Festivities afoot
|
| |
Here were are again - another two months on and we're already getting into the festive spirit. Yes, it may seem rather early with all this gorgeous weather of late, but now's the perfect time to be considering Christmas stock and how you can maximise profit at that time of year. So, to help you along the way, we've got a bumper six-page feature to inspire and excite. Turn to page 33 to begin your festive journey.
The social media age is now well and truly upon us, and we're proud to announce we're now on Twitter. Be sure to follow us, if you haven't already, at Twitter.com/CraftFocus. You can now get in touch with the magazine even easier, and we'll be keeping you up to date with all the katest industry happenings. Tweet us with your thoughts and comments about what you'd like to see in your magazine!
Now, we all know sussing out what consumers want is key to a successful business, so we've rounded up troops to test out a mountain of craft kits. Each of our testers varies in age and interest so we do hope you glean a useful insight from at least a couple of the product reviews. That's all on page 63.
So, what else do we have this issue? Well aside from a chat with the Glitter Girls who are heading towards celebrity status in the world of embossing, there are some informative features on scrapbooking, a jewellery making project to offer your customers, and our retailer round-up which is all about starting a craft retail business. We also have a number of business articles relating to customer service, insurance and health and safety, and as usual there is lots of news, interviews and products to keep you up-to-date with the craft world.
Just one last thing - I shall be moving to another publication in the KD Media Publishing group from next issue so will hand over the reins to the new editor of Craft Focus, Allison Jacobs. I've had a great time getting to know everyone involved in the magazine so wish you all the best for the future!
