Using Craft Shows to Find Other Opportunities
This week's Craft Show Tip is more about overall handmade business basics. I talk about handcrafted jewelry business, but you can translate that into whatever it is you sell.I know that a lot of people do craft shows solely for the money they make at the show itself, but you can make great connections and interesting opportunities from them as well.I really credit craft shows with the success of my handcrafted jewelry business because it's at craft shows where I met shop owners, gallery owners and lifelong customers who still order custom jewelry years later.I originally wrote about selling handcrafted jewelry here. This is a about 30 minute audio version of that post and is perfect for you to download and listen to while you're crafting or cleaning. You'll probably want to jot down some ideas as well![audio mp3="http://kimberliekohler.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Selling-Handmade-Jewelry.mp3"][/audio]
Do you have some good ideas? Jot them down, make a list and start checking that list off!
