16 October, 2022

Description

In telling a life story, we are helping family and friends connect and celebrate the departed and it is important that we help communicate this story in a creative and sensitive way. Today’s sympathy market is increasingly focused on celebrations of life, flowers to the home and multi-purpose designs. During this class we will also share how to incorporate keepsakes into your work, selling techniques, pricing and alternative mechanics. The class will be conducted in an in-person classroom setting at Smither’s Oasis US headquarters with flowers and hard goods provided. Students will complete at least 4 hands-on projects throughout the workshop, with lots of one-on-one coaching provided. Attendees will also enjoy a tour of Smither’s Oasis facilities and learn about their research and development process along with the opportunity to work with some of their new products.
