E78 Why Ordering a Sample is so Satisfying

SHOW NOTES: There's something incredibly satisfying about seeing a pattern you designed on a product you can actually hold in your hands! In this episode of Creative Business Spark, I'm sharing why ordering a sample of your artwork can be such an exciting and encouraging experience. From my morning coffee mugs to the Christmas wrapping paper I love designing, we'll explore how your creative ideas can become beautiful, useful products. I'll also share a little about my craft fair days, why simple everyday products were some of my most popular items, and how holding your own designs can give you the confidence to keep creating. 👉 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✨ Why seeing your artwork on a real product feels so different from seeing it on a computer screen ✨ How coffee mugs and wrapping paper became some of my most popular products at craft fairs ✨ Why the everyday products you already love are wonderful places to start ✨ What a printed sample can reveal about color, motif scale, and spacing ✨ Why you don't need a complicated product assortment or lots of inventory to begin ✨ How ordering just one sample can encourage you to keep creating ➡️ KEY RESOURCES & LINKS: Explore my surface pattern designs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annelafolletteart/ 📌 CONNECT WITH ME: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/annelafolletteart Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annelafolletteart/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AnneLaFollette1
