HOST A VIRTUAL EVENT - IT COULD COST YOU NOTHING*

Does that get your attention? *Participating Shops pay a $1000 deposit to guarantee participation. But if you have ten or more registrants participating at your event, you will be issued a full refund on your deposit. Your only expenses will be for marketing, added services (lunch, etc.), or other incentives. You benefit from in-store sales, especially from seminar related products, and Ricky Tims Inc benefits from registrations. 

Since the event is LIVE STREAMING, Ricky is not present. Therefore there is no expense for travel, lodging, or lecture fees. 

The Goal

The goal is is to teach a wealth of information, entertain, and inspire quilters. For the host shop, Virtual Quilt Luminarium is designed to be a revenue-generating success for your business. Sewing Machine Dealers can also set this event up with machine sales incentives to maximize your bottom line. 

What Is It?

Quilt Luminarium is an in-depth quilt course that has no comparable counter-part. It is a comprehensive symposium that demystifies seemingly complex concepts, teaches mastery of unique techniques, and helps harnesses the power of the ever-elusive muse of creativity. A diverse range of topics are presented in such a way that quilters of all experience, expertise, and styles will enjoy. 

In-store Quilt Luminarium is a two-day event with a pre-established schedule presented virtually at your shop (or venue of choice). Participants gather together (like we did pre-Covid) but the seminar material is presented virtually!

The best part...each participant retains access to theQuilt Luminarium sessions forever!

The depth, breadth, diversity, and clarity of Virtual Quilt Luminiarum affords the best virtual experience possible.

How it Works

• Ricky Tims will provide the schedule, curriculum,  and streaming content. Live interactive opportunities are schedule in order for participants to ask questions.
  
  
• Participating stores will be given a list of Quilt Luminarium accessories (sewing implements, etc) that they can acquire in advance and have available for sell during the two-day event.
  
  
• You will be given access to digital marketing materials to use in your shops or for social media marketing campaigns to promote the event.
  
  
• As Ricky is there "virtually", there are no travel, meals, or lodging expenses—and no teaching/lecture fees. Your expenses are limited to your venue needs and promotional expenses.
  
  
• Participants register directly through Ricky Tims Inc at www.letsquilttogether.com. A list of registrations coming to YOUR event are provided so you know who has tickets to attend.

Revenue

A list of featured items shared during Quilt Luminarium will be provided so that shops can pre-order and have these on hand to sell. There are many BERNINA accessories included as well as notions and other products. Shops are urged to have a reasonable supply of seminar items - and perhaps even bundle featured items to maximize sales. The sales and marketing of products are yours to organize as you wish. Limited-time discounts are encouraged.

In addition, shops are urged to create their own specials on machines or other significant revenue-generators. 

Syllabus

There is a 130 page, color Quilt Luminarium syllabus. Ricky Tims Inc will ship copies to each shop (in advance) at no additional cost to the shop. The syllabus is a bonus gift for each participant. One copy is to be distributed to each registered participant. NOTE: There is a registration deadline ten days prior to the event. Anyone registering AFTER this deadline will only receive a link to an online PDF and not a hard-copy of the syllabus. This is a logistical deadline and also a strong incentive to make sure registrations are finalized in advance.

Follow-up Opportunities

Feel free to offer after-event group classes on the subjects covered. It's a great way to keep the excitement going weeks and even months after your in-store Virtual Quilt Luminarium
