Is Your Craft Marketable?

Sunday July 8, 2007
One question people have when they are considering selling their craft for a living is the simple one: is there a market for my craft? Well, that's pretty easy to determine. First, start by asking the question to your family and friends. Make sure you talk with people who will give you an honest answer and not worry about hurting your feelings. Next, try a couple of local shows to see what other people think without spending a fortune. It won't take too many of these "test markets" to figure out if you have a product that is saleable.
