Considering Crafts Business...HELP!

I am considering starting a business that will sell my crafts,
candles, and bath products on a local scale (I already sell on the
internet). Can anyone give me any tips for selling at Craft shows,
flea markets, consignment stores, etc?

Many Thanks!
Christina

Dear Christina

Craft shows would be the better option, you have to be careful at flea
markets etc everyone comes along looking for a bargain and don't
appreciate that you have hand made your products.

Craft shows can vary too - some can go well and the next one you may
feel is a waste of time but if you want to go that way persevere.
Have business cards with you people who like your product will take
them away and may contact you later when they organise an event.

Have you considered mail-order too - you could hand out brochures at
the craft events. Good luck.
