This channel is getting better and better!❤🎉🎉
I am very motivated by the great comments, feedback & participation! I love this community!
@@howtocraftfair John, when I think “ now I know everything there’s to know about craft fairs” you come up and show us that there’s so much more to learn! It’s so much fun!
Thank you for this invaluable content. So much to consider. Loved it all. ❤
Appreciate the comment! Thanks! 😃
Thank you so much for the words of wisdom! I’m getting ready for my first craft fair and kinda nervous and excited at the same time 😅
That’s the perfect way to feel going into it! The nervousness is good - that means this means a lot to you! You’ve got this!!
There’s so much to craft fairs!
Endless learning opportunities! 💪
Just found your channel. Love your ideas and tips you gave. I will check out your other episodes. Thanks so much!
Glad you're enjoying the content and welcome to the community! Be sure to check out the comments section in the videos you watch because a lot of times, there's some bonus tips in there from viewers :)
Thank you so much! This will help me prepare for the up coming holiday season.
Glad it will help! Good luck at your upcoming shows! 😃
Rewatching this one!
Excellent source! Thanks.
Hope it helps! :)
Looking forward to this one cause I have to set up differently based on the venue and I’m vending at wasteland weekend this year and need allll the ideas for which ways tables can be arranged 😂😊🖤
Im considering making some kind of downloadable/printable document that has a bunch of booth configurations on it. This would be a pretty big undertaking, but could potentially help a lot of people.
In this video, I couldn’t really list ways to set booths up because honestly that number is infinite. Some people use tables, some use racks. Other use different types of displays, so the possibilities of booth layouts are limitless.
Instead, I decided to show people a tool they can use to map out their own layouts. To basically see them before they try it in real life.
There’s a few tips & techniques in this video that I haven’t talked about before, so I’m hoping this can be a useful video for everyone, no matter what type of setup they want or products they sell.
@@howtocraftfair recognize your logo :). LOVED your booth set up!
Wonderful video with great content! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Thank you so much! I’m ordering the chalk board sign and small ones. I had decided I needed the little ones but hadn’t shopped yet and these were on sale!! Very reasonable price. Like the boxes but I may need bigger ones not sure yet. Still figuring out what I’m making. I need to clear out some of my 50 years of crafting by completing my left over patterns and projects. If rather sell these than have my kids just give it away some day. Appreciate the advise to get me up to date. Last craft show was about 25 years ago. Lots of things have changed by some not.
Susan - what a great comment! I hope those display suggestions help you out! I have a feeling that although some things have changed, that you’ll be able to get back into the swing of things in no time!
Awesome info! Thanks.
I just found out I absolutely love it!❤️
They are addicting for sure!
@@howtocraftfair They are John. I love working on my business SO MUCH!

First time doing an on-screen demonstration! I need to get better at multitasking! 🤣😅
Hello, luv your content. I will be setting up a booth at the Painted Tree. I have a 6x10 booth. Any tips? I really want to highlight the men jewelry since there’s not a lot of sellers out there. I also have women jewelers and other non jewelry items. I have always struggled on what to take to vending events because I have sooo many different items that I make😩 Thanks🤗
Try and think about the demographic of the shoppers and base the design around what you think will best appeal to them. Also with jewelry, you always want to make sure that lighting is on point. Avoid having shadows in your booth. If you can’t have some of your own lighting to “enhance” the look of the jewelry, then position the jewelry part of your booth towards the best light the venue itself offers. This will require you to approach the booth from the shopper’s perspective. Is there a certain section of your booth where if someone is standing in/near it, it gets covered in shadow, or is it all good?
Then just be sure to cover the basics like if you’re going to have men’s & women’s jewelry, just be sure to separate those and not have them blended. Then if you have other items outside of jewelry, be sure that’s separate too. Nice, clearly defined zones. But try to tie in your branding into the whole booth. Similar looking price tags, signage, colors, etc.
Are these videos on audible? These would be great to drive/work and listen too. Love your material❤
Thank you so much! No, they are not and honestly, I’ve never even really thought of doing that, but I’m going to look into it now!
I have a video coming out on the channel August 15th that might be perfect for this. I expect it to be pretty lengthy - probably around two hours if I had to guess. That video, and the way it’s going to be formatted, would work really well for a listen-while-driving experience.
I signed up for my very first farmer market and I found your channel while looking for advice! Thank you so very much for making these videos I learned so much and practically binged your videos🤩
I wanted to ask your opinion on this. I got one 6ft table for my 10 x 10 booth but I was wondering if I should get another one since the space is expensive real estate. I sell teas and only have 7 products. Im conflicted on getting another smaller table that could serve as a checkout, samples, and sign up for newsletter table, or settle on just having one table and put everything on that one table. What is your thought process on my dilemma?
I would definitely recommend getting the second 6’ table. As you mentioned, it’s nice to spread out a little bit with signage and other miscellaneous materials. Plus, it will help to “fill out” that 10’ x 10’ area. Without the second table, it will feel a little off with so much unused space.
So even with only the seven teas/items, now you’ll be able to display them possibly in more creative or interesting ways knowing that you’ve got plenty of space for it.
Thanks for the kind words about the channel and glad to have you here! 😃
@@howtocraftfairthank you so much for your reply!
Hey hey!
Hiiiii 😃
Wow great tips as always. New ideas to use and share with my group.
Would love advice too on displaying my banner for indoor events. I got the outdoor down but the indoor vents puzzle me on displaying my name banner. Thanks. ❤️
Thanks! Yes, it can be a bit difficult to display a large banner when you aren’t able to use the outdoor canopy. I have had vendors use canopies at some of my indoor shows before and that has helped them to not only keep their indoor/outdoor setup consistent, but to also stand out at indoor events.
I've built a simple banner stand out of 1/2" PVC that can lean against a wall indoors. Freestanding, it really depends on room and booth layout!
On the subject of tent weights, my local fire marshal actually specifies to use cinder blocks. I hate them. Much prefer out of town events for that reason.
Yeah that’s pretty odd - never heard of that as a preference before - especially from someone in a position like that! Can’t blame you for wanting to avoid the local shows.
I discovered magic eraser works wonders on the chalkboard marker clean up…🤔
Good tip! 👍
if I have a corner booth, can I apply that in this website?
Yes, I used to insert aisles or walls into the space around the booth to better visualize where the booth is inside the venue.
I cant get that program to work it wont let me delet anything or add a new event.
Oh no! Sometimes this happens if you set an event date (it usually requires you to put a date in) and the date has passed. I used to put a date WAY in the future so that I could keep coming back to a project and edit it many times.
