“As a member of The Artisan Group, I can say that joining this group was one of the best things I’ve done for my 10 year old business. The celebrity swag events and one-offs are not only fun and exhilarating, but have done wonders for my marketing and credibility. I frequently get requests for my “Jenny McCarthy Necklace” or my “Zooey Deschanel Earrings.” And, that’s not the only perk to being a member. The whole team is caring, supportive and helpful. I gain insight and get tips on a daily basis. I’ve gained so much confidence in running my hand-made business and also found more satisfaction in my style and design. The Artisan Group is a non-intimidating environment that is run extremely efficiently. Between Valerie and the volunteer admins and coordinators – nothing falls through the cracks! I feel so fortunate to be a part of this fantastic team of artisans!”

“We have had an amazing month due to The Artisan Group. We gifted the media and press at the event honoring the Golden Globes. The Tuesday after the Golden Globes we landed a TV interview with our local news. A week after that we landed a wholesale deal from them seeing the interview on TV about the gifting and our new soap program that we have. We are now officially in our Local Hyvee Grocery store due to all the press we have landed! A huge THANKS to Valerie Guerrero for all her hard work and giving us these opportunities!”

It has also provided me with the chance to have my work featured on popular network shows such as Staging Christmas, a Lifetime Movie and The Orville television series.I wouldn’t be able reach out to the television and movie costume designers on my own.

“One of the most valuable parts of being a member of The Artisan Group is the community that you become a part of. There is a constant network of shared ideas, helpful hints, and support from other members and the administrative team works relentlessly to make sure members are included in the best shows and events and are always coming up with new ideas to help us better our small businesses.
The Artisan Group does more than just help you get your foot in the door. Members of TAG have cultivated celebrity clientele, had pieces worn in major feature films, been seen on countless TV shows and have been featured in numerous articles and talk shows. I personally have been featured in several articles and have had my pieces worn in more than a dozen films and television shows. That is something that as a small town, small business owner I never considered I would be able to accomplish. The Artisan Group made that happen.”
