Six inspirational events have been organised by The Giftware Association this October in response to members’ feedback.
On October 8, a four hour workshop will be held for people new to social media, hosted by Louise Welsby from Buy From creative agency, designed to give delegates the confidence and tools to create a social strategy for their business.
On October 10 and October 17, there will be Meet The Buyers days with Associated Independent Stores (AIS), bringing buyers and supplier members together. Buyers will be looking for handbags, luggage, small leathers, jewellery, hats, gloves, scarves, slippers and socks.
On October 16, David Glenwright from JC Social Media, will be looking exclusively at the Facebook system to include Instagram ads. This will be followed by a seminar from Gareth Robertson of Designpit, highlighting branding and packaging with an environmental focus.
