The Craft Fair Guide: Tips and Tricks for Selling at Arts and Craft Shows
Before the Show
Best Craft Shows to Sell Your Crafts
¡®Tis the season of arts and crafts shows. Need to know how a certain marketplace rates in being the
place to be to make sales? As always, it¡¯s not an easy answer. It depends on the show. I just attended
an annual local festival and was very disappointed to find only a handful of vendors who were selling
honest-to-goodness handmade art and craft. The majority were selling cheap imports or part of
franchises that sell cosmetics or storage containers. I came to the event specifically to buy handmade
crafts and was almost instantly turned off when I saw tables and tables of imports.
When I spotted a booth selling beautiful fabric and ribbon rose jewelry, I asked how sales were going
and the artist responded ¡°Slow, yet steady¡±. At one time, this was one of the best seasonal arts and
crafts shows in the area, and now it was not the place I wanted to be. The same jewelry artist said she
was happy to have the opportunity to hand out her business cards with her Esty shop web address on it,
hoping for future sales.
It is important that you do some research when selecting what arts and crafts shows you want to invest
in for sales. Here are some questions you should ask:
1. Is it an annual event? Usually this is a good sign, as people in the local area will be aware that it
is always held a specific month or specific weekend.
