HotHive Textiles has teamed up with Angi Egan, one of the leading authors from our sister company HotHive Books, to help our readers solve all their branding and marketing issues.

We regularly speak to designer-makers up and down the country and when we ask them what they find most challenging about running their own business we are always met with the same response: “getting people to see my work and ultimately make enough sales from it”.

We know that many of you find it difficult to establish successful businesses, particularly when trying to balance this with finding time to make and sample new products. Having less time to spend on the marketing and promotion of your business means it is even more important that you get it right so that it works for you.

Having previously worked as a consultant with brands such as the Body Shop, IKEA, Marks and Spencer, Gap and Harvey Nichols, Angi is well-placed to offer advice on all areas of marketing, attracting new customers, communicating with your customers and branding issues.

Whether you want to get more people to purchase from your website, encourage more people into your high-street store or just raise the profile of your brand Angi will have the answers you need! So if you are struggling with something in your business, please send your questions to textiles@thehothive.com and we will put them to Angi.

The interview will be published in the March edition of the HotHive Textiles newsletter, so please send all questions by Monday 8th March.
