Utilizing themes, such as the pirate one mentioned in the previous post, Have You Made a Quilt With a Pirate Theme, can help you achieve recognition for your quilt art and for a quilt business (if you’re developing one).
Laura, at Work From Home Momma, mentioned in her comment to a post on Home Biz Notes, Basing Your Home Business Promotions Around Themes, that business owners can begin planning for next year when it comes to themes. This idea also can apply to making quilts for exhibits and contests, many of which are based on themes.
“It’s not too late to put it [pilot theme day...or any other] on your calendar for next year, either. Especially if you are going to purchase or make items based on the theme, you will need some lead time.”
So begin planning ahead for theme days. Then the date isn’t suddenly upon you without your having made any products, prepared a promotion, or developed a strategy.
* Put the various dates on your calendar.
*Look at the dates periodically.
*Jot down as ideas occur on your calendar.
*Make items for various promotions, sales or themes ahead of time.
*Perhaps you can get others to join your for a theme day…either within an Internet group or your community.
