craft fair vendor sales tips and booth ideas

look at my top tips

your booth should be free from clutter and visually appealing up close and from far away

choose backgrounds and table coverings that do not distract from your products

drinking in your booth. it's unprofessional and will distract you from attending to your customers

never ever allow your supplies and other items to be visible under the tables. use proper fitting table covers. seeing a of stuff shoved under a table distracts from what you want people to see

you find some handpicked examples of craft fair booths and table displays on the pinterest board that i curate

this empowers your customer and them in charge of their shopping experience. they don't feel the “high pressure” that comes from other gimmicks

other tips & hints

you forgot bug spray on your list. an extra chair and hand fans )

christin has been successfully self-employed

sell more at craft fairs and markets

here's a look at some of the things that have helped me successfully sell products at craft fairs. f goodies and know-how

your display is more important than your products and it is crucial to your success at craft fairs

lighting is important! evaluate each venue's lighting on a separate basis and plan accordingly

use unusual elements in your display to add visual interest and stand out from others around you

don't focus only on the front and center of your booth. people often scan around the perimeter when deciding to enter a display

use signage tastefully and sparingly

do not let people see supplies

once they're inside

use pushy slogans. invite them in

show off your expertise

network

dress nicely. if you make something you wear

pick up clutter

craft show sales techniques that work

this guide is a comprehensive how-to based on my experience. learn what works and what definitely doesn't. use these strategies and you'll have the edge over all other craft fair vendors

your display is more important than your products

work

marketing techniques

make your customers comfortable by engaging their senses

control the temperature

choose appropriate background music

use smell

craft show sales techniques: making the sale

ok

greeting your customers

offer samples

create a positive experience

a service

create a fun

show off your expertise

be a neighbor and have consideration

have traffic in your booth at all times. people draw people. if it's slow
