This program will be of interest to craft producers whose focus is selling to the tourism market in Nova Scotia and as a result have been affected by COVID-19 and the decreases in tourism revenues. Pivoting your business and creating an effective strategic marketing plan will highlight the program, along with other topics of interest.

Conducted in partnership with Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design and Craft Nova Scotia. There is no charge to participate; you must be able to commit to the full program.
