quilters looking to start their own machine quilting business.

least expensive, manner. This book offers my expertise in the top
marketing methods for a new quilt shop.

HERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE BENEFITS YOU RECEIVE
1) COMPREHENSIVE MACHINE QUILTING BUSINESS GUIDE
General business books don't go into enough detail about the
specifics of opening, running, and marketing a successful machine
quilting business. This book DELIVERS THE STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
you need to get your machine quilting business up and running in the
least amount of time.
2) WRITTEN WITH THE NOVICE IN MIND
Never run a business before? You don't have to worry about getting
bogged down with over-complicated terms or unnecessary information.
This book provides an EASY-TO-READ PRIMER to help guide you through
some difficult concepts of starting a machine quilting business and
running it effectively.
3) EXCELLENT MARKETING SECTION
Without customers, your machine quilting business will quickly die.
That's why there's an ENTIRE SECTION DEDICATED TO MARKETING your new
business. You'll see which advertising and promotional techniques will
be the most useful and effective methods of getting the word out about
your new machine quilting business.
4) INDUSTRY STATISTICS AND DEMOGRAPHICS
It's tough to market your machine quilting business unless you know
what your average customer looks like. Discover some interesting facts
about the quilting market, and how you can get involved in this $21
BILLION PLUS MARKET.
5) PACKED WITH VALUABLE RESOURCES
There's no way that any one book can give you every little bit of
information you will need to run your machine quilting business long
term. So, what I've done is provided some ADDITIONAL RESOURCES that
will give you more information about some key concepts, including
running a business and finding suppliers.
6) HOW TO GET FINANCING AND WRITE A BUSINESS PLAN
Probably the scariest part of starting a new business is getting
the money together for the initial inventory and improvements on the
space. I offer sound advice on HOW TO PULL TOGETHER A BUSINESS PLAN
that will go a long way towards getting the loan you may need for your
machine quilting business.
7) DAY-TO-DAY BUSINESS ADVICE
Running a business is not a walk in the park. In fact, it can be
one of the most difficult things you'll ever do. But, with the right
PLANNING AND ATTITUDE, you can take a lot of the "sting" out of the
more mundane tasks, like record keeping, accounting, hiring, and more.
8) EQUIPMENT AND INVENTORY
You want to choose THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT and supplies for your new
machine quilting business. You'll get eQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY PURCHASING
HINTS to help you through the difficult process of stocking your
machine quilting business with the right stuff.
* Equipment and supply purchasing hints: CHOOSE THE RIGHT QUILTING
EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES for your business
* Quilt pricing tips: Learn HOW TO PRICE YOUR QUILTS and quilting
services
9) HOW TO PRICE YOUR GOODS AND SERVICES
Pricing is a subject that comes up again and again in the Quilting
Biz User Forum [2] and in emails from members of the Quilting Biz
email list. Price correctly, and you will ENSURE PROFITS FOR YOUR
BUSINESS, and ATTRACT CUSTOMERS WHO APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK INVOLVED
in what you do. Price the wrong way, and you'll lose money and attract
bargain hunters - the worst kind of customer for long-term success.
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE...
Now, you're probably wondering how and why we can do all those
things.
Let me explain.

business guide. If you are looking to make $40, $80, OR MORE PER HOUR

information relating to "starting my own quilt shop" - I nearly fell
off my chair when up popped information on your book "How to Start
Your Own Quilt Shop". Every question I had asked myself was answered,
and even questions I had not asked myself - I am very impressed with
the amount of information you have in your publication that 'ordinary
folk' require. I must also compliment you on the speed with which I
received the hard copy of the book. As I live in a small country town
in New South Wales, Australia, I still feel a little nervous about my
dream of opening my own quilt shop - I will let you know if I do - to
other quilters I say: "read 'How to Start Your Own Quilt Shop' and you
have taken the first step towards realising your dream."_
