I have to say that I am absolutely amazed by how helpful the other vendors have been in giving tips and leads on other shows that might work for me! Up until now I've sold exclusively online and the best part has been to actually meet my customers and see their reaction to my work! All in all it's been a wonderful and lucrative experience!!!Stephanie S.

It can be overwhelming to commit to your first show and sometimes we stress so much that we end up not doing it. If someone is thinking about doing a show, start small and go! Borrow as many of the expensive supplies as you can from friends (tents, tables, etc) until you know its something you want to keep doing. Then add the custom displays and your own tent. If part of why you started a business is to meet other people and share your talent, then shows may be right up your alley.HappyLittleMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14179479004978405010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166601643840580231.post-65357179016045556412012-01-21T19:59:49.783-05:002012-01-21T19:59:49.783-05:00this is my first time here, melissa, and I love th...this is my first time here, melissa, and I love the information you are sharing here especially for some starters or for someone who thinks of doing the same thing.betchaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754061874315713589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166601643840580231.post-12234716612206163722012-01-21T18:06:37.965-05:002012-01-21T18:06:37.965-05:00Great ideas!

I like to have a Giveaway....Thanks! Great tips! <br /><br />I like to have a Giveaway. Just a simple, leave your name and email and I will draw a winner for $X gift certificate or product. It gets people to leave their contact information so you can follow up after the show and tell them where to find you between shows and can be an icebreaker. <br /><br />Also, don't forget weights for your tent. An extra cinder block or two can go a long way for keeping your tent secure if the wind picks up and I have seen too many tents blow over in the past.HappyLittleMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14179479004978405010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166601643840580231.post-37229592915699161312012-01-20T09:39:02.711-05:002012-01-20T09:39:02.711-05:00Great tips!! and I agree with the 'changing it...Great tips!! and I agree with the 'changing it up' one. I have seen people go by booths commenting 'oh yeah, I saw her stuff last time' and not stop. But a whole new look and I've seen customers come back and buy again...thinking I am a different sellerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
