How to setup a craft booth
My friend told me the other day that she was considering selling a few crafts at a craft fair that her work sponsors every year. She thought it would be a great place to get into the biz of selling her handmade items, a “safe” place to try out her crafts. It got me to thinking about all the work people put into that side of the business. Sometimes it takes years to perfect your sales process.
To be honest, I’ve never sold my crafts at craft fairs, farmer’s markets, or the like, but I’ve shopped quite a few over the years. The last one I went to had some top-notch professional crafters. The products were great but nothing overly unique, and yet, there were lines around their booths. When I checked them out, I noticed that each one was well organized and set up with the shopper in mind. That professional “look” really added something to their sales pitch. It got me to thinking of all the bloggers out there that must be talking about this subject, offering tips to people like my friend just starting out.
Here’s a few links that I found with advice on setting up your craft booth:
