Try to figure out how to unload the displays and products with as few trips as possible. Hand trucks, carts, wagons, have different pros and cons when transporting things. If one display object (like the pedestals) takes extra time to haul, set up, or special care, is it worth it for a same day set up and show? Bubble mailers work great to quickly package flatter fragile items within a box or tote. Consider packing your wares in fine China or Christmas ornament containers. The first things out of the car should be the first things to set up (displays before products). Use storage containers that nest inside each other. If you can stash it under the table instead of taking empty containers back and forth to the car, you'll save a lot of time. Study how other vendors load in and out of shows.

Thank you John. I believe I have listened to 75% 0f your videos in the last 3 months. You may have mentioned this very very important information that I missed. I listened to a Craft Fair Vending listing the top things to know when signing up for a venue/festival. KNOW the foot traffic at each event. I just found out that the September Festival I signed up normally has foot traffic of 5,000. Then second show is in October with foot traffic of 11,000. I had to cancel the second due to not having that much product made for back to back festivals. This is such valuable info to know.

First time viewer. Have my first craft fair ever in October, super nervous but great tips!!

Thank you so so much! I'm vending for the time and this was perfect.

Your booth is beautiful!! I hear what you're saying about putting up the side wall to have a solid background, however it's very hot inside a closed-in booth. Any suggestions?

This was super helpful, thank you! I have a small handmade bath and body care business and am gearing up for some fall craft fairs starting next month, so this was perfectly timed!

Thankyou 😊 Ill be out there shining😊

Thank you! Excellent tips, all 101 of them!

Smoking isn't just keeping other shoppers away. For those of us with asthma, it can be life-threatening. Even at winter shows, I have to take a fan with me to try to keep smoke/vaping fumes away from my face.

I agree with some of what others have said about “best” things. However, while I agree about the absolute necessity of advertising, I have a real problem with organizers who misrepresent things about their fair or downright lie about things. Integrity right down the tubes!

I don't mind negotiating with a customer. Within limits. I don't have anything that is similar to other vendors.

New subscriber! Fantastic how-to videos full of great advice! 😎👏👏👏 Thank you so much! About to launch my new small candles/aromatics business in a few weeks so your sound advice is super appreciated! So many items to acquire to have a great set up at Farmers market events! Worth it though when it can help increase sales.😅

Thank you John. Great info to know.

Licensed and trademarked characters as gifts, fine. For profit? Definitely not. I attend conventions that explicitly say things like ' No unlicensed depictions of characters appearing in third parties' movies, TV shows, books, sound recordings, still images sculptures or any other media.' They have the right to remove those products and you might even be asked to leave. Subsequently, you might not be invited back. I've also heard of some comic cons having representatives of companies wandering around issuing warnings to vendors that have their companies branding. So, it's a definite no-go territory.

Awesome! Thank you! #howtocraftfair

This was super helpful, thanks so much!

Great tips - this might not work for all vendors. But we ha save started putting out seasonal items all the time. Christmas and Halloween has been selling more than other items. Again it might depend on what you sell.

Excited for this one, I only do fall pop up shops. When my schedule permits I will do them year around.

Awesome video. Your tips are invaluable to vendors. Thank you for teaching us how to be the best vendors we can be.

Thank you!!

What is your Etsy page? I am interested.

I agree with this assessment. I didn't even notice the inconsistency with the signage colours, but the green fabric at the front corner was really throwing me off. I love the logo and colours! I agree with the tent top colour - the blue is sort of making the tent look closed off. I see a completely unused tent wall. You might think that wall is useless but if there are people in your tent, they'll be able to see anything that's displayed there. Maybe a minor thing, but I'd shore up that 'L' in the table and bring the side table forward to have it lined up with the front table. I agree that you're pushing the edge of having to get a double tent space. You look way too crowded in back with practically no visibility for people shopping. If your boyfriend joins you, DEFINITELY get a bigger space. In any event, it will allow you both to walk back and forth and help each other out unless you are just displaying his items. But still, you'll need more room. Another idea is to open the booth by putting your tables on either side of the tent with the grid wall centered in the back. This would totally depend on how much of an introvert you are because there really won't be anywhere to hide. You'd have to put your chair in the corner with maybe a small table to check out. But having it open will let people see everything when they enter the tent. That's IF they enter. Some people like to float on the outside. That's kind of a 'know your market' sort of thing. Granted, this comes from the perspective of market visitor, not someone that has actually had a booth so I can't pretend to know everything that's involved. In any case, really nice art and variety of items! Cheers!

Thank you for the many great tips I've jotted down quite a few 👍👌

#letsgrow I'm starting to consider setting up at craft fairs. Thanks for the valuable input.

Great point about packaging and ease of transport. Years ago I purchased some beautiful ceramic dishes from a vendor. He packaged up each item in newspaper, then put it in a paper grocery back. It was filled to the brim, and had no handle on the bag. I am a small person, so I put my arms around the middle it to walk the 1/2 mile to my car. Just as I started walking the items on the top sort of "floated out" and then popped out and landed on the ground and broke. I was very upset, as if he had provided a different style of bag (one with handles) or if I had brought my own bags (although I went to the faire to just "look" and had not planned to buy anything), so I went back to explain what happened. He felt sorry for me but didn't think he was responsible in any way. He did offer me a small discount and I purchased replacements for the ones that broke. Even so, it was a very sad situation in my mind and I still felt he should have done a better job on his packaging and anticipating what could have happened with the way he packaged the items, maybe even by putting it in two bags that I could have rolled the top of down to seal and grip them from the top instead of the middle of the bag.
