Selling Crafts and Craft Shows and Festivals

RE: Selling Crafts and Craft Shows and Festivals By (Guest Post) Check with School, churches, and if you have them flea markets. Usually a few times a year there are festivals that people can put crafts in. Also you can post them on a web, thrifty fun has something like that! If you give your crafts as gifts, attach a business card and give some for friends to hand out. I have sold things by word of mouth! Good Luck!

Make sure when you talk to the people heading up these shows, that you ask if these are home-made style crafts or if they are "vendor" shows. I, like you, just got into showing my crafts and the first one I went to was all "vendors" such as Home Interiors, Avon, Tupperware, several wine & several Food & kitchenware type vendors. We were the only ones with home-made style crafts. Even the customers were heard commenting "I thought this was a craft show". Just a heads up to ask the right questions. Good luck!

There are several shows in our area... Sycamore Shoals has a great show in Elizabethton every November, Hal Henard school in Greeneville, Roan Mountain has a festival and there are lots of local churches that have some that get a lot of traffic. Come by sometime! Cindy 2532 Elizabethton hwy.

They can give you lots of information!! Send for a tourist package that is usually available from the tourist bureau in the capital city of your state. I am from Arkansas, and the package for Arkansas includes an Arkansas Road Map, and a Calendar of Events which lists many of the craft shows and festivals statewide. You could also check on local events with your Chamber of Commerce or the County Extension Office. Check on the internet...just Google it. Good key words would be Tennessee Craft Shows, Arts and Craft Shows, Crafts Vendor Information, Tennessee Festivals, etc. Hope this is helpful.

Ask at your local craft stores, or your church. Most towns have a crafters mall, check your yellow pages for one. Good luck to you! Posted on 04/25/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
