Set up your
niche interiors business

If you’ve always wanted to run your own creative business but lack the tools to get started our Business for Interiors Workshop is perfect for you.

On day one you’ll drill down into what makes your offer unique, identify your target audience and develop marketing and pricing strategies. Then on day two you’ll get into the nitty gritty of contracts, fee proposals and how to successfully manage a design project, including scope creep and price objections. You’ll finish the workshop exploring and discussing tactics to set yourself apart and get noticed.

What you’ll learn

Discover your secret sauce

What makes you, you? Uncover your ‘why’, your unique strengths and the values that’ll shape how you work, so you walk into business with total clarity on what you stand for and what your dream business actually looks like.

Define and refine your market

Who’s your dream client, and what makes you the obvious choice for them? Get clear on your unique offer and learn how to promote yourself so you stand out in a crowded market, not blend into it.
