great marketing info!

A must-have for people thinking of making crafting their business! The marketing and sales info is up-to-date, specific and will help you avoid all sorts of problems. I just missed specific info on licensing, insurance etc. Other than that, a must- have!

An ABSOLUTE must have for the professional crafter!!

I was browsing through books on jewelry making, seeing the same things over and over, but I needed something to help me with the business end of my jewelry. Lo and behold, I found Ms. Rosen's book. When I saw who it was written by, I was overjoyed - she is extremely well-respected in the craft "industry". Help on marketing, how to get started, pricing, galleries, wholesale information, plus mentors throughout the book... It's my craft Bible!! I cannot praise this book enough.

Good book

Although I've yet to find one book that provides "the" tell-all on the business of crafts, this is a classy book, informative, well done, excellent photos, good feel and thus easy to read -- with business forms examples and real-life crafter commentaries. If I recommended a better book to learn about the business of crafts, this would be one title. I believe the key to preparing for your first experience as a professional crafter is to read as many titles on the subject as you can, hoping each will provide one piece of the puzzle -- never getting the whole story -- until eventually -- collectively -- they all come together and make sense (wow, there's a lot of fluff out there). Supplemental reading of general business, finance and other titles will give you the whole picture on the "business" of crafts that you need. Also, check out the National Crafts Association website, craft marketing trade magazines and other trade organization sites.

Great Addition to Any Craft Industry Resource Library

If you are thinking or have started a business in the craft industry, this is a must have resource! Accented with advice from successful craft professionals, it features very comprehensive information on networking, your business image, working with galleries (just to name a few).

Ms. Rosen does cover one topic in depth that most barely hit on: Family Business. This chapter goes into great detail on your family and how your business impacts that area of your life (and vice versa).

However, this book doesn't stand alone as THE resource to get started (and one book should never be, in my opinion) but is is a great addition and must have as you build your knowledge on the craft industry.
