A few other tips to hopefully save your wallet & hopefully your sanity:
- I just received my business cards from Canva. 100 of them cost me around $30USD & I have QR code printed onto them; I use Canva completely free of charge.
- https://HiHello.com also has a free version where you can have a virtual business card you can share digitally
- No website, but want an online presence & following? No problem. Pick your favorite platform where you find you post about your work most often. Use the link for a digital card. Make a formal post when you update things.
- I got a plastic standing photo frame from Walmart for $3 today. I'm going to print out an intro to my business to put with my setup.
- Grab a soap dish or basket at a dollar store & you've got a cute display.
- Write your prices on index cards. Use rocks, stones DnD dice or crystals you already have at home or in the driveway for a decorative weight.
- Drink lots [of water] 🤪
I've spent the entire month of October [pretty much] crocheting for a neighborhood crafts event I hope to sell the pieces in this weekend. I've never sold at any kind of craft fair. I don't want to be involved as a salesperson at a craft fair. I don't even take my product to flea markets or host yard sales to hawk them. I chose to participate in this crafts fair as a favor to a neighbor who's presenting | hosting the event. But I've thought a lot more about the why... why don't I like to sell in person? Why is it such a big deal not to be a part of larger scale local fairs? And I think it really boils down to costs & expectations, both real and imagined. So if you're crafting something, I just want to remind you that it's 💯 okey dokey to show up with whatever you've completed. You don't need 50+ of the exact same item for it to sell. You need 1. Just one.

So tired. And in pain. But had a good event. Phoenix Pagan Pride Day was fun. Friendly folks and lots of foot traffic.
Our set up needs tweaking. We have way more stuff to display now. The 3D prints sell great but take up more space than jewelry.
