The Fools Gold

I make beaded jewellery and have been thinking of selling them at an arts and craft market, how many pieces should i make before i can get started?

I did woodcrafts with my ex-husband, a few years back and I remember our first craft fair. It was a blast. It was very eye-opening too. We had no idea of what we were getting ourselves into (don’t get me wrong we had losts of fun, learned lots and made a lot more money than we had expected) but there is one great thing about the other marketers we found them to be very helpful.

Now for instance, we had made only 1 or 3 at the most of each product but we had over 40 different products.

We learned that instead of making so many different products, we needed to make our best sellers and lots more of them. Just know that you wont just have craft fair goers but you will also have the possability of meeting many shop owners who will want to purchase at least 6 to a full dozen of each product they like.

Just know that once you get that first show under your belt you are gonna love it from that moment on. Keep up with the trends for inspiration. There are many resources for that such as jewelery mags, teen mags and such (they are usually your best impulse shoppers)

Here is a great resource below:
