Gearing up for the Spring Shows

Filed under: Craft Show Tips — Tags: , — Chris @ 10:22 am

2008 is almost in the bag and that means that the Spring shows are right around the corner.

What are you working on for spring to entise your buyers?

What is going to show beautifully that a shopper has to have?

What is unique in the marketplace that will have buyers flocking to your display with cash in hand?

The answer to this is inside you. I know it sounds crazy. But people will buy what is beautiful, different and definately what is displayed wonderfully. When you go shopping at the store you will see the same types of things over and over. But the one you buy is usually the one that is displayed in a special way.

I don’t have the answer as to what the next hot trend will be. I do see a lot of exquisite work, recycled items and natural items. The run of the mill purchased things are going by the wayside, unless they are priced cheap.

Take some time to develop your display for spring. what can you do that is different and unique? Lets get creative! But most of all, Have Fun!

Spring is a great time to do some shows.  Alot of companies have new products out, perfect for showcasing at a show.  Also great buying times fall into spring like Mother’s Day and Easter and birthdays, of course.

Start hitting the papers and sites for spring shows.  Break time is over!
