info_outlineWant to plan and host your own online Christmas market or virtual pop up?
Listen to this podcast I take you through the steps you need to take to create an online Christmas market - but can be applied to any type of virtual or online event.
You’ll learn how to take your online sale from idea through to creation and everything I’ve learnt from running my own online virtual events. Including the best tech to use depending on your budget.
Get clear on your aim for your sale (and why it’s not always about selling) AND how to map out your event from start to finish.
Discover the content that you need to create to make your event a success from email sequences to testimonials. And why planning and creating your content in advance will save you tons of time when it comes to promoting your event.
Find out why you need to think about your next online sale - before you finish mapping out your current one.
Plus what you REALLY need in place - if you want to charge people a seller's fee or to get sponsorship for your online event.
