Don’t make too much.
It is better to sell most of what you have than to go home with a lot of unsold crafts.
Also, all crafters will sharing tables with other crafters. Make sure you can display
your craft, or at least a few examples of your craft, on half of a table.
Keep it inexpensive. And bring change.
Most of your customers are other kids. Items between 50¢ and $2 do better than items
$3 and over. Have plenty of $1 bills and quarters with you to make change for your customers.
Do something different.
If you make an item that may be similar to other crafter’s items, think of a creative way to
make yours different from the usual.
It’s not a bake sale.
Baked items are fine if that’s what you really want to do, but remember that the emphasis of the fair is on crafts and services.
Make it fun for customers.
Consider offering a service at the fair so kids have something to do while they’re there. Face painting, nails, tattoos, and hair accessorizing are just some of the possibilities.
Trade.
If you end up with too much stuff that you haven’t sold, try trading with other kids for their products.
Keep your group small.
Crafters will be sharing a table with other crafters. Keep your group small so you can all help with the display.
Make your display creative.
You’ll attract more customers if you have a creative way to display your items than just laying them on the table.
Have fun!
