Tips to Increase your Craft Show Sales

I found a summery of 14 tips to increase your craft show sales! As someone who is a vendor at a craft show almost every weekend, I can tell you that I eat these posts of up like crazy! But to be honest, it usually boils down to be being friendly, approachable, and helpful! Not to say that this post doesn't have some excellent tips, because it definitely does - I'm just saying, keep it simple and remember the basics about customer service and you're sure to go a long way :)

Here's a quick recap of the tips from this article, but be sure to head over to the article to see more information about each tip.

1. Stand (rather than sit).. I don't full agree with this point because some craft shows are relaxed, laid back festivals and if you're standing and looming over your tables all the time you'll actually scare people away! Feel out the crowd and go from there :)

2. Smile

3. Display a credit card sign

4. Don't act like a clerk in a department store

5. Engage people

6. Don't be pushy

7. No gossiping

8. Customers come 1st

9. Share your craft

10. Make it easy for shoppers

11. Offer differing price points

12. Look legit

13. Be genuine

14. Be professional

... most of these can be summed up by saying be yourself, make sure you get enough sleep before the day of the show and do as much as possible to prepare ahead of time so you don't feel stress out and grumpy the day of, bring snacks (I always feel more social with a full belly hehe), and have a professional, well put together display. If you're looking for ideas for booth displays, there's several groups on flickr just for craft show displays! Check out the list of groups I'm in to scout some of them out.

Canterbury Folk Festival Pictures

The Canterbury Folk Festival was a huge success for us! Thank you so much to Roberta for having us! We can't wait until next year!

I've posted a lot of pictures from the festival on flickr so be sure to check them out. There isn't any pictures from the third day (Sunday) because I was too sick to attend - thankfully Drew & my parents covered for me! I have the best fiance & parents in the world!!!
