Have you ever wanted to sell your handmade crafts or artwork at local craft fairs, but have no idea where to start?

Or maybe you've taken the first step, and have tried selling your art at a craft show or two, but now you're looking for ideas on how to sell more, how to make your booth more appealing to customers, and where to find more venues to sell your handmade goods at?

You've come to the right place! I've been selling my own handmade creations, as well as the work of other artists, at a variety of craft shows and other events since 2004.

I've learned a lot of lessons the hard way, and now I'm sharing them here with you so that you can learn from my experiences!

In this book, I'll cover the basics of getting started selling at craft fairs, as well as how to design a great looking booth, how to give outstanding customer service & sell more, and even how to find and create additional events at which to sell your handmade work.

This book will be most useful for someone new to selling at craft shows.

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.
