Thinking of doing a Craft show
I just got my plasma table up and running. I was thinking about getting a booth at a craft show but I am not sure what I should take to the show. What is your guys best sellers at craft shows? Also these shows a good place to sell stuff? The show I was thinking about is 350 bucks for a 10x10 and the show is 3 days. They said that there was 40k people through the doors last year. Is this to much to pay for space? Thanks guys

Re: Thinking of doing a Craft show
First off, Good Luck with your new venture.
I don't have a table yet or cut for craft shows but what I have read and determined is that you want to focus on making products that will appeal to women. They are the buyers and usually attend "craft" shows/fairs.
Use the "search" feature above and put in "craft" as a search word and read through the forums. This has been discussed a lot here in the past.
Try this one.

Re: Thinking of doing a Craft show
I to do quite a few shows myself and you definitely need to appeal to the women like it or not they control the money. Also keep the majority of your pieces around the $50.00 range people need to be able to buy them. One of the best things I did for myself was to be able to take credit cards. Square is cheap and the funds are deposited right into your account.
