Deciding Between Operating a Wholesale or Retail Craft Business

Great article online at the Crafts Report with 18 questions to ask yourself to decide if you want to run your arts and crafts business retail or wholesale. 

One plus for the wholesale side is that  retail crafters have to deal with difficult consumers (check out my two-part article about dealing with difficult craft show customers) and cheap imported products.   An advantage on the retail side is that crafters  bring in more money per item selling retail and there is normally more of a creative element.
