W O W!!!! That's a LOT of wood! You Go Girl!
Great video! I always also have a way to collect people's info - a raffle usually does a good job at this - people write their info on a card / piece of paper and put it in a container and then they are automatically entered into your raffle. Or, you can have everyone 'lLIKE' your page and then have a raffle for all of the people on your page... I find it helps to build future clients on a database or member of a page, to read about your future business offerings. Well done Elysia!!! Bravo!!!
Take a garbage bag. It’s amazing how much trash you generate even when you don’t think you do.
At one show where I had an open plan booth, I built a demountable cupboard and covered the outside of it to match the walls of my booth. This way I had a place for my helpers and me to store our personal stuff safely along with the bits and pieces we needed during the show, like extra bags etc. Always have a hidey hole.
I could have done with watching this a few years back...we did craft shows and markets for 4 years and now we are in a B&M shop ...great video with spot on tips...taking your own food is a must and we used to provide bags for smaller items and don't forget your float plus you'll need a pad to write down all your sales, Take photos during the day to show on your local social media pages to entice more customers....I always had a foldable chair for anyone that needed a sit down elderly or not....and as you say Smile...Smile....Smile :)
Elysia you are so wonderful. I always wanted to handy with tools. Wish things were different when I was younger. I begged to be in wood shop in highschool but they discouraged us gals. I was so upset by this. Mid 70's was not that long ago. I now live vicariously through you and other women. Thanks again for sharing your talents and tips. You rock! 🌻
Great advice! I have been a crafter for years and go to many shows throughout the year (indoors and outdoors). A couple things I would add is to have mat to stand on at your payment center. Standing on concrete is horrible for my legs. The added cushion helps when you aren’t walking around. I rarely sit during a show.
Another thing is, Be Nice! Especially with your fellow crafters. I have seen too many crafters treat people just awful. If you go to many shows, you will see a lot of the same crafters over and over. We have developed a bond with many of them. You never know when you’ll need help and these people have been amazing to work with. It’s not about you versus them. You’re all there for the same reason.
One more little thing. We keep a basket of small suckers (Dum Dum’s and mini Tootsie Roll pops) on our check out station. Many times children are whining or impatient and just want to leave. You can lose a sale easy that way but by offering this small piece of candy often satisfies the child and lets the parent look around. (Always ask the parent first though)
I am so happy you mentioned concrete floors! I def would suggest a mat for standing on! My legs were dying after the first 4 hours! good tip! You have great tips! I am going to PIN your tips to the top of the comments so others don't miss them! Thanks so much Ginny!
Great advice, thank you!!
Great tip with the candy!!
Hazel Rio you are brilliant so soooooo talented I sit for hours watching your video’s I only came across your channel last week and I’ve been watching ever since keep those video’s coming and your such a sweetheart so pleasant
Thank you so much for the support on my channel! Leave me a comment below! I reply to all my comments & questions! :)
You look beautiful in a dress Elysia .Hope you made a fortune.
As a veteran jewelry crafter, you have some great tips. A few of my own include 1. Bring help if you can, I bring tools and extra charms and gems so I can customize on the spot, while the other person is handling the sales. 2. Have a DVD presentation of you working, and past projects...it brings people in and invited custom orders. 3. Give discount to repeat customers. 4. Give a handshake, or place your hand on theirs when thanking them for their business and use their name of possible. Sometimes I forget their name, but I will remember what show they purchased something. I really enjoyed your presentation, you seem like a positive creative soul.
Wowww..... An Environment friendly women and a supporting husband 😊 The world needs more people like you ❤️💕
I love the "Payment Station" with the bolted-down cash box! I'd *really* like to have one like that for myself, but I am absolutely NOT a wood worker! LOL! Lucky you! Excellent tips for craft fairs! Very good video!
Thanks for the advice I was working at a craft fair and I talked with the vendors, and she said that if I wanted to do business then sell things at the craft show, so thanks for all the advice and tips
When this first started I thought it might be full of obvious points. But I forgot what a marketing whiz you are and that you are so astute. Impressive and generous. Who wouldn’t want to subscribe to your channel?
Thank you for your kind words Happybidr
Your boys are precious! I love your work, Elysia!
Great information! I did 2 shows last year and they did not turn out so great.... Which was very disappointing because I worked so hard on my inventory.
Thank you for the tips!!!
You did a beautiful job with the presentation.
I have been wanting to start my own business and you popped up recommended to watch. That was a great ‘’sign’’ for me! Thanks for the great info and tips. Appreciate reading others tips as well. New subscriber!
ME GUSTA EL CANAL, TIENE MUY BUENOS TRABAJOS, BUENAS IDEAS.... SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO
You are so stinking creative !!!!! I love everything out do.
This was great and spot on! Doing 3-7 day shows is grueling but so satisfying. I loved seeing someone's eyes light up when buying something I created. Best of luck! 🤗🤗🤗
I'm preparing for a Christmas Craft Show at my church. It's my second year and indoors this year. I learned a lot last time. I love the tips you give here and your booth is amazing. I have some ideas to improve my overall experience. Wish me luck. Thanks
Best video of what for's and what if's EVER! Never knowing what to expect is always kept me just selling crafts & builds from home. This was SO informative!! Thank you so much!!❤📐🔨🗜🧰 Keep on, keeping on!
I'm new to your channel and in less than a week I'm like a super fan!!
dang, you've got it goin on girl....good for you! Thank you for the inspiration
You are very sharp thanks for sharing your tips and tricks.
Amazing tips, you worked so hard to do all of this and still took time to share with us. Love ya girl, you are special.
I didn't just like this video, I loved it, it was so helpful for me as I'm about to do some first of the month church fares, I must say, I feel like you're the freind I alway's needed in my life to help me on my way in doing what I do with my crafts, I'm in England by the way, God Bless you in everything you do. Xx
Stumbled upon your channel tonight and instantly subscribed. I'm now binge watching a bunch. Your work is awesome.
Thanks Kathy, Welcome aboard :)
I love your videos! This video will help me finally do this. I have up cycled for a very long time and have wanted to find a way to make money at it because Im a stay at home mom. I recently was diagnosed with cancer and the medical bills are piling up. Honestly getting cancer was just the push I needed to make myself do this. Most people do not do what they really want to do because of fear. Having people like you go through your techniques really is priceless. I just had surgery to hopefully remove the cancer but bedridden for a while to recover. I now have the time to actually marathon watch your videos, LOL!! I have many tools and thingy- ma-jigs to help but, some things I did not know what the names were or how to do certain techniques. Im getting educated in the process. Thank you keep the videos coming.
Hi Jaime! I just wrote a comment to you and it disappeared! LOL! Anyway, I just read your comment and I want to ask you how your surgery went? Did they get the cancer? I also want to tell you that I love your comment. I love that you want to face your fear and you aren't allowing this diagnoses to destroy your hope and dreams. Your child(ren) are probably so proud of you and they will always know how strong and brave their mama is in the face of fear! You kick butt! Saying a prayer for you right now. :)
Jewels5241 thank you so much. We think the surgery got everything. Pathology on lymph nodes came back with no cancer!!! Now I just get to go to dr every few months for the next five years and hope and pray no reoccurrence. You definitely get a new lease on life when you go through this. Thanks for the prayers.
Jaime Jones Awesome!! 🎉🎉🎉Congrats on being cancer-free! That’s so exciting to read! 😊 Good luck with your crafting!
I bombed at a craft show I did last year but after seeing your video I realise the mistakes I've made ....not enough variety of stock with different sizes...I was stung on food at the venue and I had it all on a table nothing at different heights. Thankyou so much now I think I can re look at doing another one at Christmas xxxx
You are amazing , thanks for sharing those tips with us. We appreciate
You are so adorable and smart! I truly enjoyed watching this video on tips for success. You seem so positive and upbeat that not only did I learn something about setting up a booth for crafting but I think I learned some valuable lessons on having a good attitude. You are well spoken and convey your message thoughtfully. You have great ideas and are so talented. Your crafts are beautiful and well thought out. Thank you for posting this, it brightened my day!
Tfs, very helpful tips. Love the plaques and quilts. Nice booth set up.
agree with all your tips and tricks I do the same at my shows , wish more people followed some of these
Love what you're doing from Canada !!! xo
I have been watching you for about a month I am really impressed. I really enjoy the dump trip. I do nearly all my crafts by recycling items. keep up the good work. happy to be a new subsriber
I am going to my first craft fair in PA. I have always done shows in Texas I am very excited Up here they only have 1 day shows
This is great!!
Your boys/little helpers are so adorable
they love helping!!
All great tips..
Hi, I am a new subbie. I watched your first two trash to treasure videos and I couldn't stop smiling the whole time so I figured I needed to subscribe. You do great things with stuff from the landfield!
I have a little shop so I reuse and refurbish things often. I have done 2 craft shows so far and my daughter and I did our research but we are willing to learn more! We are planning for a Fall Show coming up so I have been making Fall and Christmas wreaths like crazy and my daughter is doing cross stitch or punch needle and Fall and Christmas pillows. Thanks for this video, it was helpful.
Great advice! Thank you. I have been to a few craft shows, but I find that I am just not cut out for it since I am wheelchair bound. The thought of having someone else host my crafts is appealing and I never thought of it until that one remark in passing that you made. Makes perfect sense when I think about it.
Very nice advice and thanks for sharing your honest experinces.
Wow this was very informative. I have gone to shows over the years and done some with our scout troop. (other than cookies) And have used some of your suggestions but you had so much more. Thanks for taking time to share your experiences.
This video was beyond helpful THANK YOU for sharing... Blessings to you your family and business!!❤️
Wow great video ! Awesome job 👏 loved your booth and thanks for sharing !
Wow. Elysia English.
I am so interested in everything you have said, done and advised. I am newly entering into this field and maybe business.
I have plenty to prepare and complete to be ready for all you said to do.
Thanks much, it is greatly appreciated
Thanks for sharing, Elysia! 🌸
This was really helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing all this great advice! I'm going to be doing a craft show in the spring and It's overwhelming! So I really appreciate this!
Wish you the best of luck!! ❤️
Thanks for all your good tips l am owing three craft shows over the Christmas I will take everything on board Like putting price tags on everything
Hi Elysia, just came across this video looking on doing craft shows. My wife and I have one to do 49 days from now and looking for information which you are doing. this will really be our first as you will be retiring in a few days and never really had time before. This was very informative and will help get over the jitters.
You seem so nice. Thank you for sharing your experience
Did a great job setting up. Your helpers are so cute (boys)
Great information!! Thanks for sharing
Great Tips Elysia Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I am binge watching your videos and wish I didn’t have to go to work lol! Just have your channel to look forward to though as a relaxing, uplifting place to unwind after work. Watching you create your projects makes me want to get crafty. Thank you for all of your professional tips and generous content. Can’t wait to see it all!
Somehow ended up on your channel! So glad I did! You’re so awesome! Bing watching tonight :) keep up the great work and thank you for sharing!
Wow! Thank you for this video!! You have so many tips for newbies like me preparing for our first show!!
I have never done a craft show and am a little nervous to try, but these tips will definitely help if I ever do! But HOW did you frame 200 signs in ONE day???? That is amazing!!!
Goodness! My thoughts exactly!
haha 200 signs was a little crazy for one day! Not a typical day of orders but a cram before a show! I def won't leave my framing until the end next time since its the most boring part haha
Very informative. Thank you
Great Advice! Very informative. Your booth set up was adorable!
So beautiful and nice collection
Wow you are so very talented. I’d give anything to have a friend just like you as my next door neighbor
🏠 Would be life changingly inspirational & motivational.
Bolting down cash box, brilliant!! 👍🏼👍🏼❤️. Also, so glad to hear that smaller shows can be just as profitable (if not more so) than large shows!!
Great tips....thank you! Love all your videos.
Great advice and tips!
Thank you for making this video!
Glad it was helpful!
I absolutely adore you and your thoughts and content. Keep it up you are awesome
So glad your loving my channel :)
WOW lots of really good solid advice!! Thank you!
I love your videos !!! Really helpful and amazing things congratulations truly . Wish I could shop from you
Your signs are amazing 😍 absolutely stunning. I crochet and make hair accessories...I can't imagine how exhausting it would be to transport all those wooden signs lol.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes carrying in wood signs isn't the fastest process! lol Do you make the crochet and hair accessories to sell?
I do sell, but only at craft shows, nothing online. Way less stressful this way lol.
Great tips
Your booth is awesome!
Btw you look marvelous in the new dress 👗!
Thanks Jacki!
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a smaller show and didn’t do very well. I’m a paper crafter and was the only one at the show. I’ll consider some of your tips if I try again.
This is great!! I have my first craft show in a couple of weeks.
I love your video's you're amazing at all that you do ! If i can't watch your video's at the moment I see them I've got a watch later list of all of them so I won't miss any of them ! 😊 Thanks for sharing all of your talents & idea's !!!
We just did s craft show over the weekend and I wished I could’ve viewed your video before. Your tips are really helpful! We’ll definitely take your tips into consideration for the next event.
Great job! Very informative and nice layout. I've really been enjoying your DIY's and trash to treasures videos.
I'm glad I found your channel. 😊
Thanks Rose for the kind words! I am glad you found my channel!
Great video n lots of info...thanks n love ur work by the way!!!!
Thank you!
This is very informative, and you have a lot of great advice! As others have stated, I always have a basket or bowl with candy for the children (and adults like candy too!). One topic you didn't cover is taking a friend along to assist you. Let's be honest, a day at the show requires bathroom breaks! Its always good to have someone at your booth who knows your work and what it takes to make the products you sell. Another topic is loss/loss prevention. Theft at shows is always a possibility, as is customers damaging your products. I make jewelry, and put a lot of time into my designs. I had a customer (who appeared to be drunk) try to cram an intricate wire bracelet onto her wrist. I tried to assist her in unfastening the bracelet, but she wouldn't listen nor stop trying to slide it on like a bangle. Then she muttered something about my "stupid jewelry", threw it on the table and walked away. I was alone in my booth and couldn't go after her (another reason to have a friend along in your booth). The bracelet was badly misshapen and could not be repaired. A $50 bracelet, and a priceless lesson!
Great information, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching Jean :)
I am really loving you channel. ❤❤

Did you say mum? Just kidding. I know your Canadian and that's how the Brits say it. Excellent video!!!!!!!! I like your positive attitude. 🏆Couldn't find a gold star so I gave you a trophy instead!
So glad I found you..I LOVE to craft. I make the majority of my home decor and gifts and I've had many family n friends say i should try to sell my stuff. I have no idea where to start or what I need to do. Ur video is very informative, tfs. Oh u have a new subscriber 👍

This video is AWESOME 🙌🙌🙌🙌😍😍😍 thank you so much!!!
Hi I just happened upon your videos and I am loving them.....( this is probably my 7th video I watched) ! I definitely agree with you on difference between spring and Christmas shows....I did my first show at Christmas and we did well ...I was poached lol for a Spring show and took what felt like an apartment size move in of signs, small tables, shelves, etc and barely made our fee for the table....I said never again...looking forward to more trash to treasure videos....we aren’t allowed In our local dump so I’m jealous! We have to depend on curbside finds ...if we are lucky...thanks for sharing😊
Wow! You’re my new hero
Awesome advice and tips. Thank you!
I'm learning so much from you Elysia. Thank you for your clear and concise explanations. You are a boost to my confidence! Thanks again!
This video is so informative and inspiring.
