Featured Handout - $10 Off Packaging w/Joan

ayvs8a

So you make wonderful creations, but what does your current packaging say about your handmade products? While we all know it's what's on the inside that counts... in the case of product packaging, what you see sells. Not only is packaging the first impression of your product, but in many cases the decision to buy (or not to buy) is made entirely on the packaging.

Check out the description for Joan McCoy's in-depth Packaging Your Bath & Body Products Class Handout. You'll be impressed by her thorough research and amazing coverage of this vast topic. This class was part of our popular 4-day bath & body bootcamp for years, and her presentation always wow'd students. Now, you can learn from the comfort of your own home, while saving $10 if you purchase it this week. Read more & get the discount on our website.
