The New Designer Program (fashion business foundations)
This is a robust online course that focuses on the BUSINESS side of launching a fashion or accessories product. We cover financing, startup expenses (with examples), choosing an ideal customer, building a pre-launch audience, where to find a manufacturer, how to source fabrics, working with a pattern maker, sample sewing, preparing to sell and getting sales. The course is an in-depth A-Z blueprint for a business that makes money. The New Designer Program is like a college class with 25+ hours of video training, downloads, timelines, cheat sheets, costing template, budgets, checklists, resources, and more.
Email List Building with Product Testers
If you want more customers & email subscribers, this is for you. My goal is for you to add 100 new people to your list.
There’s a better way to build your list than just offering discounts or doing giveaways that attract only freebie-seekers. List building using our “product testers” strategy can get you:
- new email subscribers & sales ⭐️
- UGC (user generated content)
- product feedback, reviews, & testimonials
- product reviews & testimonials
This strategy works for ANY stage of business, including newbies who are building a pre-launch email list. **This is my absolute favorite list building & sales strategy – it’s the best thing I’ve seen in 14 years. –Jane
How to Build a Following Scratch
If you want customers buying the day you launch, you need to build interest before you launch. You don’t have to – and shouldn’t – wait until you’re ready to sell to build an audience.
This workshop teaches you how to start attracting potential buyers right away and build an email list.
“Jane, thanks for the brill advice to start marketing early. I sold 60 units in the first 2 days of my launch!!” – Lisa
