Getting Started in Selling Your Crafts
Ive met a lot of talented individuals whose creativity oozes out with the way they talk and do their thing. They are people who like to do their thing apart from anything else in the world. Some of them does not only start in making their stuffs to keep it or give it away as presents; they are also starting to sell them. They have come to terms on getting to the next level.
If youre a creative person or crafter and would like to transform your hobby into a business, then there are some tips on how you can get started. First step is you need to establish a name and logo for your business. A word of advice: consider the product youre selling as it has to coincide with your name and logo. A good business name and logo should also give a hint on what kind of product youre selling.
Next step is to view the local listings in your neighborhood to see the schedules of craft fairs or craft shows. Your goal here is to participate in these events by having an exhibit or booth dedicated to your crafts. Get to know the reservation officer and inquire on how you can avail of a booth space or exhibit space. Remember to take note of some policies that they may bring up.
It is also advisable to work on your products prices and terms of payment. Cash payments are usually preferred during fairs although card are also most often than not acceptable. You may wan to purchase a credit card swipe for this. Try checking out the prices of other competitors so you can have a better view at how much you can ask for each of your product. You may opt to lower your prices for better chances of selling.
