Also, interacting with your booth visitors/customers is a fantastic way to learn what features/designs your customers may want in their future jewelry pieces. Be sure to pass out your business cards, both with paying customers and the "window shoppers". One of them may become your new "best" customer.Gemstones on My Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506843305632000660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899392819446961549.post-1288490560662111122015-03-06T13:57:54.568-05:002015-03-06T13:57:54.568-05:00Daunting IS a great word...scary too, but the sayi...Daunting IS a great word...scary too, but the saying goes...NO risk...No Reward!!!<br />Thanks for sharing all this great info Laurie, your booth looks charming and quite inviting!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17764325523588199636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899392819446961549.post-87347671324682830482015-03-06T10:51:48.463-05:002015-03-06T10:51:48.463-05:00I used to love to do craft shows, but that was a c...I used to love to do craft shows, but that was a couple of decades ago. It is a lot of work, but if you hit on a good one. WOW! One thing I discovered is that you must stand up the entire time. Impossible to sell while sitting (implies a lack of interest). So, if you brave the circuit, stand up and pay attention. Be there for your customers. Plus, a little bowl of candy on the table is a nice touch.Ribasushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381252393196990891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899392819446961549.post-42112054731117604252015-03-05T15:36:32.023-05:002015-03-05T15:36:32.023-05:00Great tips, thanks for sharing!Great tips, thanks for sharing!capitalcitycraftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341343997839346926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899392819446961549.post-35058590933447592462015-03-05T15:23:00.737-05:002015-03-05T15:23:00.737-05:00Thanks for sharing this valuable info, Laurie - yo...Thanks for sharing this valuable info, Laurie - you've given me the ideas and confidence boost I need to revamp my displays!Erikahttp://erikaprice.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899392819446961549.post-79371503122792108892015-03-05T13:44:48.994-05:002015-03-05T13:44:48.994-05:00Great article with some lovely displays.Great article with some lovely displays.Beadsmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15506012445193082086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899392819446961549.post-25350059288134839332015-03-05T13:01:01.373-05:002015-03-05T13:01:01.373-05:00great post Laurie, and helpful info!great post Laurie, and helpful info!SendingLoveGalleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208187686837821640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899392819446961549.post-28372267349741495902015-03-05T12:40:25.122-05:002015-03-05T12:40:25.122-05:00Looks like you have found some great venues Laurie...Looks like you have found some great venues Laurie!!

I like the idea of wrapping the jewelry in tissue paper rather than taking it in the storage bags and having to unpack from them at the show site.

I also think it's great to share a space that way you can cover for each other when you need breaks, and help each other out during the show.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09909460399260533283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899392819446961549.post-83764546770901039792015-03-05T10:59:17.926-05:002015-03-05T10:59:17.926-05:00Lovely setup Laurie, shows are a lot of work but c...Lovely setup Laurie, shows are a lot of work but can be fun with the right people with you.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845144444274763042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899392819446961549.post-42443627913426262842015-03-05T08:19:04.700-05:002015-03-05T08:19:04.700-05:00Great stuff.
