Do you do craft shows? My mom and I have talked about it in the past, but have never actually done one. I have a huge fear of failure, and would be afraid no one would like what I have to offer. I was thinking that maybe my mom and I could get some custom tote bags to promote our "crafty business", and use them to get the word out about our offerings. My mom makes the most beautiful jewelry, and I do a bunch of things, but mostly crochet and wood work. My specialty, if you will, is making signs with kids names on them, and then I paint them to match whatever room they will go in. I think people would buy them.
It's worth a shot, right?
You've got nothing to lose! Go for it! Craft show season will be in full swing in less than a month!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you make fantastic things. I wouldn't be afraid of failure if I were you. From the looks of it, it doesn't seem very likely that people wouldn't like what you make. Give it a shot. It's the only way you'll ever know. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI've only done one and that was about a year ago. Sadly, because it was organized by a bead shop I go to there were WAY too many jewelry sellers. I shared the booth with a friend and we both sold a few items so we "broke even". You also have to remember this is Las Vegas which isn't really a big place for such things. I say to you "Why not?". Try to find one that you thinks suits both of you. You may be pleasantly surprised.
ReplyDeleteI did many craft shows. Some were good and some were bad but I always sold something. The problem is what to do with what is left over. I have never sold out of my stuff.
