Helpful Craft Fair Tips
- Remember that we will provide you with one of the following options, depending on what you have requested on your application. Each table measures 6-feet by 2.5-feet.
- table space: one table and two chairs (unless you request an empty space)
- booth space: two tables and two chairs (unless you request an empty space).
- The tables are the lovely rented style. So bring a tablecloth of some sort if you want to pretty it up.
- Measure out the space you have been given and practice setting up. Think about whether everything on your table or in your booth is easy to reach by you and your patrons.
- If you’re feeling short on space, try to put out representative items rather than everything you have.
- Bring a partner to help deal with all the eager shoppers and to wo/man your table when you want to take a break.
- Bring lots of change. Make sure you bring what makes sense for your prices. Bring more than you need! Many people come right from the ATM with big `ol twenties. We suggest getting at least $200 worth of change.
- Suggested supplies to bring: plastic bags for purchases, packaging for fragile stuff, tape, scissors, sharpie, receipt book, calculator, extra price tags, apron for cash, business cards, mailing list sign-up, order forms if you run out of an item, tablecloth, signs.
- Bring snacks and water because you might be so busy that it’s hard to get away from your table!
