Craft Your Commerce is a Mountain BizWorks entrepreneurial program designed to connect, elevate and advance creative and craft-centered companies through a series of business training workshops and classes designed by makers for makers. The program is offered in partnership with the Center for Craft, UNC Asheville and area creative entrepreneurs.

Registration is now open for Mountain BizWorks’ spring 2023 Craft Your Commerce series titled “Connecting Online: E-Commerce & Digital Marketing.” Workshops will run from March 17 through May 18. This spring series is designed for creative entrepreneurs seeking to grow their customer base through more e-commerce and digital strategies. Participants will learn how to create website landing pages that engage customers, gain a better understanding of SEO and analytics, and create genuine authentic relationships with customers through e-commerce platforms.

The series culminates with Alpine for Creatives, a five-week business-development course beginning May 17. The Alpine course will be an opportunity for existing craft and creative business owners to integrate and implement key learnings from the series in a supportive peer-to-peer cohort.
