Gas prices are at an all-time high and that means added expenses for long distance craft shows. To help save money, lots of crafters are staying within their own towns. Local shows may not be the best market for your crafts, but they can certainly add to your circuit without as many expenses. Not only will you save on fuel, but you will also save on lodging costs. And in business, saving on expenses can help raise profits. However, make sure that when you attend local shows you are still attending the right types of events for your products.
