I have another craft show coming up this Saturday November 30th. I am only participating on the Saturday, as I have mixed feeling about participating in, in these types of events.
Here is my "photo collage" I had to submit to get approved for the show. My daughter did it for me and I do love how it looks. Everything in this poster is available to purchase.
Pro's:
- you get to meet a lot of lovely people........and I have met some great people
- you make a lot of contacts and get your name out there
- you sell your things
- you get to see what other people are selling/making
- you go to places you have never been before
Con's:
- you sell nothing (thank goodness it's never happened to me....yet!)
- you meet some very strange people
- it's tiring, especially if there are not a lot of people attending
- it can be demoralizing when people hum and ha over things and nit pick
- it's hard being nice and smiley when you know for a fact people have no interest in buying anything
As this is my first year doing this, I am making notes about various places and make notes of what I sell at each event. The verdict is out yet on what I will do in the future regarding craft shows.
Do you like going to craft show? Have you been a vendor at a craft show? I would love to hear your thoughts about this.........
