Two things I do at each event that works for me is 1) I do a setup and send pictures at two different angles to some family or friends and get their opinion. 2) People normally walk by your booth at least twice. Each half hour I move a few items around. I have sold more by doing this. Hope this helps everyone.

Leaving a 6-8 inches in front of your pay station is so important for people with purses or other shopping bags so they can have a place to put them down on the table while they are digging for their card/cash. Just a tip for people in the comments :)

Thank you for this tip! Just laying out my table plan for my first vendor sale- I never would have thought to leave a space for customers at my checkout area. 😉👍🏼

Excellent video!! Loved your points. I was at a market last night buying loose leaf teas from a lady when my toddler started crying and becoming fussy. The lady selling teas quickly pulled out a sucker for him from behind the booth. Long story short, she got a $10 tip on top of me buying two teas from her because of that small touch. :-)

I have been doing craft shows for a few years now and I agree with most of what you've said. The only thing I disagree with is dropping prices at the end of the show (unless you are a food vendor in which case it makes sense). I sell handmade jewellery and if I don't sell something at one show, I can sell it at another for the price I'm asking. Just my 2 cents. 🙂

Great insight, Karen. And it is an excellent example on how everyone must experiment with their own tactics. The best way to know, is to DO! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for this video. It helped me tremendously. I crochet and had a couple of shawls that I put on dress forms. I was so focused on how my table looked, that the forms were an afterthought. I couldn't understand why they weren't selling compared to the other items I create. Well I took your advice and ran. I styled the forms, one with a cute denim blazer and the other a sweater and................BINGO!!! They sold!! I did the same thing at every other fair I had this season and I'm happy to say that all of my shawls sold! Thank you so much for this valuable tip that I will never ever forget! You're an angel! :) xo

I wanted to do expos for my virtual tour business this year and I felt somewhat confident because I've been to fitness expos (Arnold Classic) before, but you're 100% right that I should check out the events as a participant before I jump into being a vendor. There's still work to do on building the actual business and brand so I'll focus on that and do expo research this year.

I also do not provide candy at my booth, it distracts customers.
