Want to speed up winter? Go see Alyson Stanfield!

In WI, the winters are notoriously cold and yet beautiful with all the snow and the brilliant red cardinals  on the branches, the just tend to be a little long.  But this year, in about a month actually, Alyson Stanfield is coming to Racine, WI to give a marketing workshop.  Can you think of a better way to end the winter and start thinking about spring?  I can't:)  It'll be held March 9-10, 2010 at The Sienna Center in  Racine, Wisconsin. This workshop is being conducted for the annual retreat for the Professional Art Quilters Alliance, but is open to everyone, and sounds exciting!  Just click HERE, for all the details, and start planning a little winter get away that you'll not only love, but will learn so much!  Oh, and there's a bonus if you sign up before Feb. 12!

Help spread the word, with Alyson's permission you can use this information and blog, facebook, tweet it, or tell all your friends!

 During these two days, you’ll learn

 

-- How to write a better artist statement that connects with your audience

 -- How to organize and expand your mailing list

 -- The tragic mistakes artists make on websites and blogs (and how to fix them)

 -- Email secrets that produce results

 -- How to increase traffic to your website and blog

 -- How to build your online presence with Facebook and Twitter without becoming a slave to your computer

And it’s only $100! Alyson says this is a crazy low price, so you should probably grab it while you can.

Two full days of ideas, examples, and motivation to help you get your art out of the studio and in front of people who can see it and buy it. AND, you’re going to leave with an action plan.

Enjoy the rest of the winter-I know I'm going to give it the old college try!

Thanks so much, Sue! I appreciate your help spreading the word. I'm really looking forward to visiting Wisconsin again!

I'm enjoying the snow we got here in Ohio. I wish sometimes that we got a bit more - but that really depends on how much and when we get it - I don't like driving in it - mostly because others don't know how to drive in it. I bet it is better in WI where ppl are used to it. Glad to see you are still doing well. I think a lot of us slowed up on blogging this winter. (I know I did) Good to see you are still at it!

You will LOVE Alyson! She is darling (so pretty), a GREAT speaker, and taking classes from her was one of best things I ever did. I also took a weekend class with her in CO. Still talk about it to this day. Enjoy her!
