Success with Craft Show Sales
()
About this ebook
There are many little details when it comes to attending a craft show and sometimes it can be overwhelming. I have attended them for years and even facilitated a 50 booth show for the Girl Scouts. I do know some great tips and tricks to having a successful craft show and I wrote a book about it! Contents include:
Making Money Ideas
150 Tips
Ways to Make Money after the Show
Information on Suppliers
Attracting People to your Booth
Newly revised 2012
Reviews
"This booklet is packed full of ideas and resources. Whether you are a veteran or novice at craft shows, this booklet is a must have. It is written from first hand knowledge. The ideas shared give you the information needed to be successful." Donna Davis - Mablevale, AR
"After my first craft fair I found this fantastic book called Success with Craft Shows. Wow did this make a difference at my next craft fair. After reading it, I implemented the ideas for my next craft fair, just two weeks later. And guess what? My sales increase doubled from the first fair! If you have never done a craft fair or would like to increase your sales, I highly recommend this book." Lisa Hollandar - Buckeye, AZ
