www.procraftersguild.com/apply.html “I have always been proud to say that I am a member of the PCG. Being a member of the Professional Crafters Guild suddenly gave me prestige and credibility. “ “I don’t always get it right, but I know where to go now when I DON’T know something (or when I get it totally wrong). The webinars, information sheets, advice, associate member deals and just having access to social media and marketing experts to run things by before making a colossal error has really changed how I do business.

I would absolutely recommend it to anyone trying to start a business from their crafting hobby.”

Welcome to the November 2015 Edition of the Professional Crafters Guild Directory

A welcome letter towards the end of a publication? Why not! Join us at the Guild for the free fall to Christmas!

Each month we will bring to you a selection of our members with information about their businesses and interactive links to their websites. Many of our members also win awards and gain other achievements so you will also be able to read about these.

Last but not least we will showcase creations from some of our registered businesses.

Don’t forget to visit our main website www.procraftersguild.com where you can find over 700 creative businesses.

This year, the Professional Crafters Guild is getting involved with Small Business Saturday on the 5th December. We invite all of our members to join up on the main website and then post their link on our new Facebook page Small Business Saturday with the PCG where we plan to promote websites, Facebook pages etc from now until the 5th December.

To get involved please follow the steps below: 1.

Register your business on the SBS website: https://www.smallbusinesssaturdayuk.com, very easy to do and when you register you will get an opportunity for a directory entry.

2. Then go to our new SBS page Small Business Saturday with the PCG and post the link to your directory entry on SBS (please note you may have to wait a few days for the entry to appear) 3. Any business not registered on SBS will be contacted to do so, this is to promote hand in glove with SBS. Posts from non members will be removed, please see our joining information to become a member of the Guild.

4. Make sure you add the SBS logo to your Facebook page, website, blog and any other social media that you use.

Together we can make this day special.
