I'm doing my first craft fair in april and this was really insightful. Thanks!

Thanks!

Scammers are now seeing who comments on a show and privately contacting them acting like they are the coordinators.

Major kudos to the vendors, it looks great overall. I do agree with other comments about the tablecloth length and licensing (I’d be super careful with that). One minor critique I have is about your hanging banner (not that you want to buy a new one, but if you ever get another). It is eye-catching and the dog face in the paw is brilliant, but the castle is confusing in relation to your brand and is distracting to me. It’s not as noticeable on the table banner, so that doesn’t bother me. The social media options could maybe be listed on the right with a universal QR code bringing you to a link with each and maybe the left could have some buzz words, like Customizable, because I feel like that sign, though great, is easy to miss. But thanks for providing such a great example! And to @HowToCraftFair, I’ve been immersing myself in craft fair tip videos lately and have seen several of your videos. I’ve enjoyed those and I’m really loving this series and picking up new tips along the way. I appreciate that you’re always very professional but still nice with your constructive criticism, it helps people grow! Someday after I’ve revamped my booth for the nth time I’d love to submit mine. But I’ll keep learning along the way, so thank you!!

Love the booth design. It's interesting to me because we do 10x20s as well. My first impression is this looks like it has a lot of space... is it all actually confined to a 10x20? It looks like the endcaps actually extend further than 10x20 into the walkspace? (Suggestion for the channel is to do a overhead view of these layouts with dimensions.) Second observation... there are IP items here (Pokémon, LEGO, Marvel, Universal) it would be rare that proper licensing is also in place. I'm gonna leave that there. 3rd the endcaps are a great idea however the result on a loss of table space behind them. Maybe shorter endcaps like table height and the more verticality on the back of the table behind them. That gives you a place for taller items that maybe you don't want everyone touching and be able to reclaim that space. Also cover the front of the back tables... better to have open under table storage on the sides if you need it under the table rather than the back. Overall still a very clean design. I am a little envious of the space here.

Love your guest relaxing on the chair behind you 😻

Thank you for an amazing review! We actually dropped our latest vlog from this event with a small booth tour. Thank you for the feedback and we will incorporate those ideas moving forward!

The way i see it if the big box stores are doing it you should to just to cover yourself and the customers

Christmas 25 I’ll make tons of changes! We are getting two booths next time, one with power so we can run the 3D printer again as it was a big eye catcher. We plan on having a green tree next year, 2 vase spinners (man did that work great for us!) Also we are definitely going to get stands and plain tablecloths. When you pointed out how things got lost we totally saw that! Next year, will be show number two and be better than this year!

We are a veteran owned business in Texas! How could i get you images of our setups? :)

Great review as always☺️

It’s JOHN! I know that guy!! He’s awesome and so is his lovely wife. He did a great job in his first show while my mom lost about $3,000 down in Alabama at another show with her craft business. 😬

Despite being a Golden Knights fan, this guy is good. Very good. GO CANES !! lol

This was fantastic. I'll be doing my first fair this spring and you touched on so many things I had not considered. Thank you !! Subbed !!

How can we send you a photo of our booth? We are from Ontario, Canada

You're a 3D printer, you can absolutely print your own displays! Your own signage stands etc! 3D print your own brand sign too! I know the holidays have passed but I hope you offer bundle packs for those gorgeous ornaments, gift boxes of 6 etc if someone really likes one style. Blue business cards would be cool too! Do you make those military bars and stars stands? I didn't see any signage saying what that was or if it was customizable, seems like a big ticket thing that deserves more attention.

Excellent video!🎉 I listened while packing for a show. 🤩 Great comments. Very supportive community you’ve attracted here. Can I find your specific craft show booth on this channel too. Much continued success to everyone!

Is there a certain insurance I need for shows?

Our biggest weaknesses have always been keeping track of inventory and efficient storage. I've been working on both for the last couple of months. That's a good idea to make it a goal for the year though. Also, I bought a hand cart you mentioned in one of your videos and I'm looking forward to using it at our next show in March. We don't have very heavy stuff, but we do have large awkward stuff, so that cart will come in super handy!

I want to increase my social media presence and fix my signage… after watching your reviews I am always focused on my displays and signage! Happy new year! 🎉

My goals are to 1) finish developing a core cut-and-sew project product line so that I can move into making new designs for products that I know work and have well-developed instructions, 2) return to two of the three craft shows I sold at for the first time in 2024, and add at least the one I'm signed up for in March, and 3) move toward offering products wholesale, which includes having all of my products listed on Etsy and taking steps to join Faire.

I bake cookies. I entered two of my recipes in the county fair. One took second place. The other took first place, a judges' choice and a champion ribbon. I display these ribbons on my table. For community engagement, I recently made an auction basket for a fund-raising event.

My biggest crafting goal for 2025 is to vend at a fair or market for the first time! All of the goals mentioned in the video provide a solid framework for newbies like me who are eager to join the crafting community. I definitely think setting goals around product development and product diversification will be a challenge for me considering my craft (wax sealing) - but a challenge that's worth tackling! Thanks for the video!

We have a new yourube channel, facebook, and blog on wordpress. Havnt made any youtube content for the store though.

Thanks for this today because I was just thinking about some goals. I did start some back in november already and they are still ongoing. These were getting our webpage lined out, which has been a great pain but I'm getting there. I still don't have everything completely listed but I am so close.. lol Another goal i am working towards is having more items that are replicated instead of each one being completely unique one of a kinds.

I hate when other vendors have music playing. Sooo many vendors at slow shows tear their booths down. I don't. I made my last big sale 1 minute after a show closed one year. It's always good to have your booth up til the last minute.

I've been doing a local craft fair for seven years now and ALL of the information in your video is relevant; everyone who's even thinking about entering a craft fair should be watching content like yours.

We truly appreciated your review; it was incredibly insightful, and we've learned so much from you! We're eagerly anticipating your new feedback and can't wait to see your next review. We've been updating our look recently, and it's been receiving a lot of positive feedback. Once it's complete, we'd love to share the new look with you.

Thank you for all that you do

Been looking for advice about craft fairs and your video has the most informative tips I've seen yet! Good job 👏🏻

A fabulous booth ! Well done to Stephanie and Ashley for setting the bar so high and being so inspiring to the rest of us. Your booth looked so inviting I wanted to come and move in !. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

This helps a lot

I am so glad I came across your channel. I like your style of presentation, clear and to the point. Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this video. It has also made me appreciate how much pre - planning, time ,thought and effort goes into these events. I would just add that comfortable shoes are essential and maybe a pair of warm fingerless gloves if it’s chilly and you’re outside, it’s easier to pick up coins to give change and still offers a measure of warmth to your hands and take a warm hat definitely in the cooler months. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Greetings from England.

Lol I still want to be the first one for New Mexico 😆 Maybe I'll get lucky 🤞🌶🌶🌶

People standing in front of my booth having a conversation with each other and blocking potential customers is my BIGGEST pet peeve!

Very exciting news! Definitely keeping this opportunity in mind. We are currently in the process of a fairly major expansion. Love this channel and all the tips and tricks. Thank you for all you share❤️🎨❤

I just signed up as a member for my booth review! Now to get on your list!

Great tips! Thank you! What do you do if you see someone stealing from your booth?

I’d like to submit my booth for Iowa ❤

Another fine video, thanks. I do tradeshows and have vendors registering through my website (wordpress + wpforms), that way I have much less spreadsheet editing to do myself. I make a form with the required fields and naturally also an upload option so they can send me videos and pictures easily. When they submit their registration I get an email notification and they get a confirmation email. I can log into backend and see all registered vendors and also download a spreadsheet with all or selected fields. I really recommend doing it like this if you are not after a solution where vendors also pay (partly) at registration time.

This is awesome news my friend☺️💜

This is exciting news. There is so much value to watching the booth reviews. I do appreciate your expertise and time.

Story time about loud music! The Funko Pop company had a huge booth at Emerald City Comic Con a few years ago and our booth was nearby. They had a DJ with loud music and contests, and I mean LOUD. We had to shout back and forth with each customer! (we did get some pity sales though, lol). Security had them turn the volume down several times but they would always just turn it back up. Enough vendors complained that they were banned from coming back. Even now, years later, that's still the thing us vendors talk about with each other. I'm working my way through your videos and it's very good stuff, thank you for sharing your experience!
