Join me as I vlog my second craft fair experience at the Hodder Valley Country Show in Clitheroe. I show you how I get organised and prep everything for the 1 day event including mounting prints, packing greeting cards and how I set up my stall. I hope that you enjoy this video and find it helpful if you'd like to get into craft fairs!

Thanks for another great video, Shannon! It is very informative. I was wondering how you are able to price your cards so low? Do you buy in large bulk orders? Also, when will you have your field mouse card or print up on your Etsy? 🤩

@shannonmullin Жыл бұрын

Thank you I'm glad you found it helpful! I buy as many as possible so they cost me about £1 each. Profit margins aren't high for me on cards, not unless you buy them in massive quantities (which I can't yet) or perhaps print them yourself. Good question I need to get them up online soon - I'll work on it! Thank you ☺️

I think drawing at the next one will really ‘draw’ people in. Pardon the pun 😊. Glad it went well for you, Shannon.

@shannonmullin just invested in a cheap contactless card machine, going to try and vlog what I can without upsetting any other stall holders😊

Very informative thank you. I’ve just completed our Art Society exhibition….. and sold only 5 cards……just covered the entry fee! I like the idea of your mounted cards, what colour mount do you use? Shame you didn’t sell any I suppose they expected them to be framed too!

@shannonmullin Жыл бұрын

I'm glad you found it helpful. At least you covered the entry fee! I find it varies so much depending on where it is and what day of the week. Thank you, I'm not sure on the colour as my framer has so many and I just go and choose based on how it matches. She has about 4-5 different whites 😊

Please keep your money on you at all times. A cash box is cute but …. Easily taken. Your cards and prints are so lovely! 🐭

I think a money belt would be more useful next time as I managed to lose some money at this craft fair! 🙈 thank you so much!

@@shannonmullin oh noo 😔 thanks for all your tips. I'm looking for a craft fair to sell at next month and your advice definitely helped 😊 would a fanny pack make me look less professional?
