What crafts do you find sell best at a craft fair and….?
when you go to a craft fair in November what are you usually looking for in peticular? I’ve tried selling shabby chic style items (lampshades, chairs, pillows, etc.) and they just didn’t seem popular, but the people around the corner from me were selling lightbulbs turned into santa head ornaments and they seemed to be selling like hot cakes (interesting, huh?)… So what do you look for at craft fairs….Also if you could include websites, I would really appreciate it, thanks!
I have been doing Craft-shows for over 17 years now and I can tell you we ask ourselves that question every year but what here are some tips.
1. Presentation, display your items so they catch people’s eye and make them want to see more of your stuff.
2. It has to be a bit different, something they can’t go down to any store and buy.
3. Appeal to the younger crowd, adults are so hung up on paying bills and stuff that they don’t buy unless it’s something for a child or grandchildren or friend.
4. Price. Keep your prices lower than what you would pay for a similar item in the store and like another lady specified earlier 1.00 to 5.00 items sell the best because they are in that range of impulse buying. Nearly everybody will say”Man that’s so cheap I can’t afford to pass that up” even if it’s something they don’t need.
5. some things that I noticed are big this year are:
Of course Jewelry, small pillows,clever saying plaques or cute sayings on anything such as pillows, aprons, T-shirts.
Hope this helps
