140: Profitable Brand Partnerships


Listen Later

Think a brand partnership is just a one-time gig? Think again!

When you find the right brand partnership, it can be a win-win(win) for everyone involved! Early in my career, Apolis, a national retail brand, brought me in to customize their jute tote bags. When I started working with them, never could I have known the multi-beneficial aspects of our relationship.

In this episode, I’m diving into how long-term collaborations fueled my creative business in the beginning and how you, too, can turn natural, organic networking into tens of thousands in revenue for your business. I’ll share with you:

  • Why your best business leads can come from the most unlikely of places (that have nothing to do with your industry!)
  • How a single brand partnership can lead to consistent income, visibility, and opportunity
  • The ways my partnership allowed me to pay it forward and fuel other creative businesses beyond mine
  • Ways you can develop your own brand partnerships and where to look to find them

It’s an amazing feeling when all parties involved grow and profit from a single relationship!

And if you’re interested in learning more about tote bag customization, I’m teaching all the tips and tricks I learned custom-making thousands of bags during the Hobbyscool Art of Expression Creative Summit May 13-15!
