Woodworking business – advice on software
Whether you’re just starting a woodworking business or have been running one for quite some time, it’s always best to consider new tips and tricks to improve your sales. Keep watching to learn about some pro woodworking tips to boost sales!
THE RIGHT TOOLS
The key to being a pro woodworker is, of course, having the right tools for the job. The last thing you want to tell a customer is that you can’t do a job right away because you need to order a specific tool, for instance. The main difference between a woodworker in a shop and a woodworker in a factory is that you can use your hands for a more personal touch when completing your projects in a shop.
USE WOODWORKING SOFTWARE
Woodworking software like SketchList3D can make your life a whole lot easier. By generating 3D models in no time, you can show off your client’s skills and make sure they’re absolutely in love with your design. If not, you can alter it with a few easy clicks. Clients want to see that your woodworking business is state-of-the-art rather than stuck with outdated methods. Additionally, such software can give you precise estimates, shop drawings, material layouts, the ability to duplicate recurring design aspects, and more. Never before has it been so simple to design kitchens, furniture, cabinets, and other projects. Best of all, you’ll be able to accurately assess the cost of a job and easily provide a reasonable quote to any prospective clients. That way, you can beat out the clients who either estimate too high from the start or who disappoint clients by estimating too low.
SOCIAL MEDIA VISUALS
The world of social media is highly visual. More and more people want to see intriguing images accompanying a post. What’s so great is that woodworking provides great visuals and aesthetics in addition to function. And that’s necessary for your woodworking business. What better way of attracting customers than sharing stylish photos of the work you’ve done? Doesn’t matter whether for yourself or happy customers. When you’re active on these social media sites and are regularly posting engaging content, you can expect loyal customers to share your posts and get excited about your business. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. With woodworking, a picture of beautiful kitchen cabinets on Instagram can be worth a thousand bucks or more. Consider it a woodworking “sales hack.”

My woodworking love started in 6th grade in school shop class. I have a BS in Industrial Technology and an MBA. At my first job, I computerized a production accounting system – the results were positive, and I loved the challenges. I left the corporate world to begin woodworking full time and one of my first decisions was to use CAD for my designs. I found that CAD did not meet all my needs. I wrote a specification of what I wanted and turned it into a prototype. SketchList 3D incorporated in 2007. We completed programming and launched. Today thousands of woodworkers use SketchList 3D.
