10 Tips For Your First Craft Show

In the spirit of getting ready for my next craft show, I wanted to make a video about getting ready for your FIRST craft show!
I was a Network Marketer for a restaurant for 3 years and had participated in my fair share of events where our company had a booth, and I had to be the face of a company. However, when I signed up for my first craft show I had a million questions!
I found everyone had all the same answers and advice to give, so today I wanted to get raw with you and share 10 tips you can't find anywhere else and some details you'll wish you knew before you even signed up for a craft show!
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below and I will gladly answer them!

    Hands down THE BEST practical and engaging tips I've come across so far. I'm doing my first show in 2 months so I'm deep down in the research rabbit hole 🤯 Thank you!

    I love HOW you said STAND, and you don’t give a crap about if there is a chair there. 😂 It is SO true though! Sometimes I have been the ONLY person standing in the small fairs I’ve been in.

    Your dog is adorable! Thanks for the video and great tips! Just one point though...your goal for sales should never be your booth/table fee. As crafters we undervalue ourselves so I know it's difficult to do, however, you always need to make some profit. You also need to earn for your time. Therefore if a show cost $80 then you need to sell maybe $100 to consider it a success. Also it can be ok to sit occasionally. It depends how long the craft show is. Sometimes standing can be an aggressive stance. But yes I think it's important to stand when a customer approaches. Thanks again for the video!

    My first show was in a gym. I practiced my set up and layout the night before. Arrived at the show only to find that both booths on either side of my booth set up over their lines. I didn't say anything cuz I'm not that person but I was bummed that they did that. But your advice about Murpheys Law is the best one...be flexible lol

    yay! Congrats that's amazing! I bought my banner from Staples, really affordable and was ready pretty fast. If you don't have a name yet, you can make a banner that announces what you sell or your pricing for your product. Example: Reverse Tie Dye Shirts Starting at $25 or 2 for $40

    What would you say is a “high price item” I make glitter tumblers and want to sell some at my craft show I sell them for $25 and think that’s a very reasonable price for the material and time used. Do you think items like this well sell?

  • @hermessybun

    @hermessybun

    4 жыл бұрын

    Abagail Joyce hi! I think $25 at craft shows is perfectly reasonable price! If you find people are passing it up you can try a few things... Prepare a discount sign with something like “1 for $25 or 2 for $40” or “craft show discount 10% off” Or prepare to adjust prices verbally.
