Programs for Makers
Our key focus
Business Development
When deciding which classes to offer, we focus on key areas of business development. These primary areas are marketing, finances, and operation. If you’re an expert interested in teaching a class, email us at makingmissoula@gmail.com
Health and Mindset
As makers, your body is your primary tool and mindset determines your success. We seek to support both of these areas of health through physical health clinics designed for makers and various mindset presentations from successful artists in the community.
Community
Many of our programs are aimed at creating and cultivating community among makers. These programs are great for folks that are interested in starting a business or becoming more connected with the maker community.
Marketing with Intention: How to Build a Sales Funnel
Join us for Making Missoula’s Aprril workshop, “Marketing with Intention: How to Build a Sales Funnel” with maker and business owner, Lindsey Keeley.
If marketing your handmade business feels like you're wildly yelling into the void only to have crickets and frustration hurled back at you, then this class is for you. We'll talk about how you can market your products with intention (and less burnout) by using the concept of a sales funnel. I'll break down the steps of the funnel and provide worksheets you can use to make your own marketing plan that drives leads from introduction to purchase and beyond.
April 21st from 6-8 pm at the Headwaters Foundation
