Hello Craft-Based Business Owners,
This work sample is a mock project supporting a handmade business owner preparing for a seasonal product launch and holiday market. In this project, I created timelines and trackers for product prep, gift bundle organization, supply ordering, and marketing tasks. I also designed a simple gift tag and insert card template to support packaging and customer engagement. This is a glimpse of the detailed background work I can provide to help your business run smoothly during busy seasons.
Deliverables include:
Whether you're preparing for a holiday market, launching a new collection, or needing help staying organized behind the scenes, I'd love to support your creative business as your virtual assistant.
