    Craft Show Tips
  • Apply to Craft Shows : Crafts Shows are divided into two categories : juried and non-juried. Juried craft shows are more selective. Entry fees can range from $15 to thousands of dollars. Visit the craft show website and download their craft show applications. Some require photos of your craft display in the form of slides or as a CD
  • Make a Catchy Craft Show Display : Presenting your crafts flat on a table is not very eye catching. Contract a woodworker to construct a display that elevates your crafts. If you make doll clothing, have doll models wear your clothing. We suggest enlisting help to set up your items because many craft show spaces are a long walk from where you can unload from a vehicle.
  • Making Craft Show Sales : Price your products competitively according to the quality of your merchandise. Many crafters bag their products in plastic shopping bags saved throughout the year from personal visits to the grocery store. Be sure bring plenty of small change. Be careful with customers who use large bills to pay for small priced items or large sales made with personal checks. You may want to invest in a portable credit card machine. Making sales policies and sticking to them will help keep you be safe from conartists.
  • Assessing craft show's success : Don't be discouraged you do not make as much as you would like at a craft show. Possibly being moved to a higher traffic location will make all of the difference. After you attend a few of the same shows and become a loyal crafter, you are usually able to ask to be moved. Some shows do better than other for other reasons, so assessing a craft show's success over multiple experiences is advisable.
