Festival Time!

Sunday July 1, 2007
Ahh... Those glorious summer festivals are here! Great food, lots to see, lots to do and crafters, sweating and selling! Well, hopefully selling. Remember that not all events are geared towards all crafts. If you have an inexpensive product line with things that people tend to buy at festivals, then go for it! This is your season. But if you sell high end artistic products, you should consider searching out different venues for your work. The same person that insults you by remarking about your high-prices at a typical summer festival might buy 12 of them at a fine craft show during another season.

I make different items for craft vending type events, than I do to sell in galleries. It works very well to just make a lot of 2 items for the festivals.
