My New E-book: How to Make Money at Craft Shows

It’s been in the works for awhile, but now it’s finally here: my new e-book, How to Make Money at Craft Shows!

I’ve been selling my handmade goods, along with work by other artists, at all sorts of craft shows and art markets since 2004. I’ve learned a lot along the way, and now I’m ready to share it with you!

What this 55 page e-book includes:

- how to define your target market
- where to find good shows to sell at
- how much should I spend on a booth fee at a show?
- how to make your booth look great
- promoting your show & getting your customers there
- my craft show tips & tricks
- dealing with crazy weather & unexpected events
- theft prevention
- craft show supply checklist
- how to give great customer service
- how to use craft shows to create after-the-show sales
- alternative venues to sell your work, beyond traditional craft shows
- how to create your own events to sell at
- tracking your inventory
- how to create a personal & business spending plan
- big hunkin’ list of craft show resources

Who this book is for:

- This book will be most useful for someone new to selling at craft shows. I do cover more advanced topics as well though, including how to define your target market, visual merchandising, inventory tracking, and creating a business spending plan. The book includes worksheets along the way to help you.

- The information in this book is based on my experiences, selling in the United States, mostly in Louisiana. However, most of the information contained here is useful to anyone around the world who is interested in setting up a booth at craft shows, festivals or conventions.

Why you should get it now:

In case you missed it, now through December 31, 2013, I’m donating 25% of all sales in my online shop, as well as 10% of all sales at Frenchmen Art Market and any other local events to Oxfam America’s relief efforts to help victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Since I’m launching this book, and want to continue to find more ways to give, now through December 31 I’ll also be donating 50% of all sales of the e-book to Oxfam America as well. (Want to donate directly? Please! You can donate here.)
