Weekly Craft Show Tips Part Two

When you are setting up your booth, you will notice that is one of the things you will contemplate long and deeply. Just think about the amount of setting up that you do at a one-time show and then imagine doing it over and over on a weekly basis. It’s not that easy to put all your goods in an attractive arrangement! Waking up early to do so will get you drinking coffee by the cups.

This particular daily attention to detail will help you garner more sales. When you just decide to throw things on the table, you will have less booth visitors when compared to the days where you put a lot of effort into the setup. More folks seem to stop by, and this in turn increases the chance of a purchase. Thus, everything should look as fresh and tidy as you can make them.

Avoid sticking to one tired old set up, though. Try to get away from your “winning formula” every now and then; nothing complicated, but simple things like putting them in new arrangements will work. Shuffle the wares around a bit, and you’ll catch the eye of the market regulars who normally just pass by your stall. Let them see new items on your stall, and you might even make a sale. When you alter your style now and then, you will develop adaptability that will be useful when you set up somewhere that is unfamiliar.

After you’ve done your initial setup in the morning, you should not just sit idly by for the rest of the day. Your stuff will get picked up, especially if you follow the above advice adequately. You can’t then blame the visitor to your booth if he or she sets it down at a different place; that is when you go back up and refresh your arrangement. So go back and rearrange periodically to keep your booth looking fresh.

You, the seller, is not an exception to this. Everything should stay fresh. Even if you wake up at the crack of dawn, and you’ve been powered by cups of caffeine since then, make an effort to go out and talk to people who stop by your shop. Smile and let your winning personality shine.
