Making Way For My Money
Over the holidays, I helped out a friend that was running a craft booth for a holiday show. This was her first and her inexperience showed. She paid to have stanchions since we were both selling our wares but people stood everywhere looking for some type of order.
Thinking on my feet, I gave the standees old copies of the 'zine with my business card attached while helping to set up and get some crowd control. After a while, I took time to socialize with them and speak to by partner-in-crime for the day.
For years, she sold crafts to friends and co-workers until someone encouraged her to sell to the public. Since she worked alone, she didn't care much for outdoor markets and couldn't afford to lease her own shop. So one-time events like these were going to be the happy medium until she could afford to hire an assistant.
I gave her some pointers about these types of events and to never be afraid to use barricades as they help to protect you and your merchandise.
The event went well and she even asked me to help out with the next coming up in March. I know the spring months are the most hot so we'll see what happens.
