Colors and Sales
From "Anonomousy": "I was just reading an article that relates colors and sales. I've always heard that the color "red" makes people feel "rushed" which is why it is used in a lot of fast food restaurants... This article is mainly about Web sites, but couldn't it be for display booths at craft shows too?"

Craft Show Backdrops/Walls
"SPIRITESSENC" posts this about backdrops: "Several people mentioned using PVC pipe to make your own backdrop/walls. I have a question for backdrop. What about using those garment racks on wheels?"

Craft Show Jitters
"NYTENN" says: "I am having my first craft show on Sept 27th and am curious what to expect. I make country woodcrafts, wreaths, etc and I was hoping that there were some people on here who have had experience with this type of craft so that they could give me an idea or two."

Finding Shows?
From "Raggy88": "Where do you find information about shows you attend? Any good Web pages that helped you grow your business?"

Keeping Cash at Shows
"SHAYRONNIE" inquires: "Where do you keep your money at a craft show? Cash box, cash register, money bag, apron w/ pockets, fanny pack, other? Please share what you see as pros &/or cons. Thanks!"

New to Shows
"I would like to get started selling my crafts at craft shows in and around Dallas/Fort Worth Texas. I really don't know the "dos" and "don'ts" of craft show selling so any advice would greatly be appreciated."

New to the Craft Show Business
From "pattyann2000": "I'm just starting in the craft show business. I would welcome any advice about choosing a show, what type of displays work the best and anything that you think is important for someone new to the business to know."

Public Liability Insurance
"I just received a application to a show that requires $1,000,000 public liability insurance. This is a one-day show. What can I expect to pay for this and where does one get public liability insurance?"
