A really good summer

& last call for ethical marketing workshop

Hi there!

How are you holding up and what are your summer dreams? Please do comment below, I would really love to hear.

I have decided, with all my heart, to have a beautiful summer. Preparations so far have included buying a stack of second hand queer romcom paperbacks in which only pleasant things happen. I am also making a reading nook in my garden and am learning to make homemade ice cream.

On another note, this is a last call for the donation based ethical marketing workshop next week. I got a few questions that I’ll answer here: Yes, it will be recorded. I booked 3h, but you don’t have to stay that long. The first 90min are an interactive workshop, then there will be 90min of quiet co-working time in case you want to implement while I am around to answer any questions you might have on chat. You don’t need to have a business to benefit, you can just think about promoting your creative work. If you’re in a hurry, you can just sign up here and make a little donation after the workshop.

Another treat for you - the wonderful Kathryn of Crochet Therapy kindly re-published an interview on slow crafting from 2019 with me. Feels so nice to have this little time capsule from the before times! You can read it here.

Wishing you a soft week.

Love,

Yarrow

This donation based workshop is for creatives & small business owners who want a space to think about the ways in which we can align our marketing, content and community building efforts with our values and needs for sustainability. I’ll share:

• How I prepared to leave social media and found alternatives

• The three most effective ways in which I market my work

• How to create your own ethics compass to help you navigate the ever changing landscape of The Internet

Sunday, 26th of May, 5-8pm UK time (90 min workshop plus supported co-working time after, here is a timezone converter).

Obviously, feel free to share the invite with a friend!

Our next free Spark sessions is this Sunday the 2nd of May from 7-8pm UK time (that’s 11-12 PT or 14-15pm ET & here is a timezone converter).

The format will always be the same:

• A warm welcome & a moment of grounding

• A chat check in with everyone

• Quiet time to work with the Spark session workbook, which includes journaling prompts, reflections & useful tools to help you set yourself up for the month ahead - choose your own adventure (you’ll get it on the call)

• Intention setting & goodbyes

I’ve decided to run my web design studio a little differently this year to allow for better planning and more creative joy. I will be offering slots for custom web designs in July, October & November - customers who book more than 3 month ahead get a 5% discount and the option for a longer payment plan.

If you’re interested, you can book a call below.

I will also be offering eight tech days throughout the year, during which I can help you create better software system, create a marketing or newsletter strategy, make small updates to your website or work on your SEO for example.
