Craft Faires

For those that have seen and better yet, purchased, my felt cakes and glass necklaces/magnets I need your opinion. Also those that are pretty familiar with craft faires

Is there a way you can get a table for just one weekend to see how you do? Committing to every weekend for a full summer and spending $300 is quite a bit of time and money! Your cakes and jewelry are wonderful though :-) Just it might be good to scope out the show itself and see what kind of attendance it gets and what the setup is like. Dunno D=

Yeah, I was going to go this weekend and see what it's like there since I've never been. But the $300 doesn't sound so bad for the whole summer, since alot of other faires I looked at charge that and more for just a weekend. Though yes, it would be a big time commitment and I'm sure they wouldn't like an empty booth half the time.

This is probably going to be a lot of the same, but I would attend the fair one weekend as just a guest. See how busy it is, if it's in a good location, etc. If you think there is enough foot traffic, consider further. Also, $300 for the WHOLE SUMMER is a very nice price! If you want to put all that time and effort into making new items, and maybe diversifying your wares, and you think there is enough foot traffic to warrant it... It may be a good deal. :3

But that's devoting a lot of your time. Do a few art cards too! Do some at the booth! People drawing always attracts attention :D

*will own your swiss cake felt cake soon. Soooooon*

Agreeing with the rest, especially on the $300 for table space the whole summer part! I'm pretty sure the felt cakes will attract plenty of attention ^.^

But, if you need more, I guess you could try making something big and beautiful to catch people's eyes, and offer the little ones for the same reasonable price you already have.
