If you enjoy sharing your product knowledge and creative skills with the public, we want to connect you with our retailers in your area!
When our retailers first bring in C&T Publishing products, they may need a demonstrator to spend some time in their store to show customers how to use the products. When we get their requests, we email Troupe members in the area to see who is interested in demonstrating. We train you on the specific product(s), provide you with enough product to create a display sample or two, and then arrange for you to be paid for your demonstration time (fees will vary based on retailer requirements and are specified at the time of request). From there, you can build your own relationship with the reseller to discuss future opportunities to demonstrate or teach for them.
Opportunity to be featured on our blog – email Troupe@ctpub.com any time with a link to your blog post that features a project you made using C&T books or products – and you might get featured in one of our monthly Creative Troupe round-up posts!
Opportunity to be a guest demonstrator on our weekly webcast, Wednesday Night Live!– if you have a webcam, a high-speed internet connection and a winning personality, email your ideas to Troupe@ctpub.com for what C&T books or products you’d like to feature in your online demo.
