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.
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!!!
This weekend is going to be exciting with a 2 day arts & craft show at the Schoolhouse Studio located at 9924 Gold Creek Drive in Komoka! (just outside of London)
If you're in the London area this weekend, please come out to the Schoolhouse Studio to check out the Arts & Craft Show event! I'll be there with all my pampering bath & body products (including new releases) and I'll be joined by many other local artisans showing off their creations including jewelry, fused glass, metal sculpture, blacksmitthing, handmade corsets, oil paintings, belt buckets, wood works (bowls, platters, etc), photography, and more!
Hope to see you all there!

I'll be participating in a craft bazaar at
C.C. Carrothers Public School on December 5th.
The school hasn't had a playground for two years and this bazaar is being held to raise funds for it. This is such a great cause and I can't wait to participate.
The school is located at 360 Chippendale Crescent, London, ON and the bazaar will run from 10am to 2pm.
Stop by if you're in the area!
This will be a great chance to pick up your Christmas cards in person! Here's a few of the cards that I'll have on hand at the craft bazaar:

Hey everyone!
I'm SUPER busy right now trying to get ready for http://craftoffthelot.com/
but I didn't want to leave you hanging with no updates so I took a quick picture of what's going on in the studio! I've been spending all my extra time in here and as you can see I'm making some good progress! That's 40 unfinished butterfly cards you're looking at. I'm hoping to finish them up by tomorrow and move on to paper ornaments and Christmas greeting cards! Stay tuned for more updates :)
From November 12 - 15th
I'll be participating in Craft Off The Lot
in Toronto, Ontario.
I'm really excited to be a part of this huge event.

It's sure to be great time for all involved :)

That's right, I'll be live and in the flesh at the Bazaar of the Bizarre on October 25, 2009! If you'll be in the Toronto area and want to meet me and see my arts and crafts in person, then make sure you don't miss this event. It runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will be held at Pia Bouman School of Dance at 6 Noble Street, Toronto, Ontario. Check out the facebook event page for more information.
There will be tons to see because I wont be the only one there. There will be tons of artists, clothing designers, craft-folk, publishers and other independent markers of all things exotic, whimsical and macabre. I can't wait to meet everyone and do some shopping of my own!
Hope to see you all there!
