Free Webinar – Is Your Creative Business Still Working for You?

2 September 2026

Deadline: September 7, 2026

Monday 7th September at 8pm UK time

Running a creative business feels harder for many of us right now. Online sales and social media aren’t delivering like they used to. Many craft fairs are more expensive and unpredictable. Galleries and retailers are under pressure, and selling internationally has become much more complicated. At the same time, our costs have increased and customers are making more considered choices about what they buy.

So perhaps the answer isn’t simply to try harder, post more or add another event to your calendar?

In this free 60-minute online session, Patricia van den Akker, Director of The Design Trust, will help you step back from the day-to-day and ask some bigger questions about your creative business: Is your current business model still working for you? Which products, services, sales channels and income streams are genuinely profitable and worthwhile? What has changed in your market – and what has changed for you personally?

And looking ahead: what might you want to keep, strengthen, change, stop or explore next?

This will be a practical & interactive business review, with real-life examples and useful questions to help you look at your numbers, time, energy, values and ambitions.

Because you don’t necessarily need to do more. You might need to make more deliberate decisions about what deserves your attention next.
