Prim Perfect is looking for novice store owners – those who have been in business for less than a year – to join their Pathfinders programme. This programme is part of Prim Perfect‘s business initiative, looking at topics important to running a successful business within virtual worlds. Each year the magazine works with a group of novice business owners, introducing them to experienced mentors willing to share what has worked and what hasn’t in their own businesses.

We are putting together our next group of Pathfinders. Could you or someone you know be one of them? Candidates for the programme should be in business for less than a year and create items for the home and garden market, the focus of Prim Perfect magazine.

Pathfinders will be invited to participate in seminars with established creators. After the seminar, they will be asked for comments on the talk, and that feedback may be included in Prim Perfect magazine. Additionally, one Pathfinder will be selected for a profile in each issue of the magazine.

To be considered for this year’s Pathfinder group, complete the following application. It may be sent by notecard to Qwis Greenwood or by email to qwis.greenwood@gmail.com. Applications are due by 15th April 2012.
