The acronym DIY has become so popular that it needs no explanation. Super stores like Michaels Craft Store, Joann Fabrics &... Crafts, and Hobby Lobby have become supply destinations for crafters nationally. Even Home Depot and Lowes have jumped on the bandwagon and hold crafting DIY classes at their stores. Apps and websites are everywhere, along with Pinterest and instructional videos on social media.
What is the next up and coming strategy to effective crafting? Retreats. Craft Escapes are designed to give those who live locally and afar a way to retreat from home so they can learn, shop and create.
These series of events take place at convenient locations close to vacation destinations in Florida. By having these events at resorts and hotels in the area, the hotels will offer group rates and discounts to guests of the Craft Escape, allowing them to spend a day or two learning, shopping and
creating while also taking a day trip to the beach or to one of Orlando’s many theme parks.
There are three components to our events. 1) Learn – a series of classes are offered at staggered times, allowing guests of the Craft Escape to
choose what they would like to make and take with them during that time. 2) Shop – every event has a vendor area for the Craft Expo. This is an opportunity for professional crafters to highlight their products, as well as provide supplies for those participating in the other components of the
event. Many craft businesses struggle with selling their products, even when using sites like eBay and Etsy. Here we bring their audience to them, and most times for two full days. 3) Create – a large area of the convention space is utilized for what is called a “Crop”. Hundreds of guests get
together, share ideas and supplies, and create for hours – even overnight! The best part about this component are the friends created!
