Don’t make too much.
It is better to sell most of what you have than to go home with a lot of unsold crafts. Also, all crafters will sharing tables with other crafters. Make sure you can display your craft, or at least a few examples of your craft, on half of a table. -
Keep it inexpensive. And bring change.
Most of your customers are other kids. Items between 50¢ and $2 do better than items $3 and over. Have plenty of $1 bills and quarters with you to make change for your customers. -
Do something different.
If you make an item that may be similar to other crafter’s items, think of a creative way to make yours different from the usual. -
It’s not a bake sale.
Baked items are fine if that’s what you really want to do, but remember that the emphasis of the fair is on crafts and services. -
Make it fun for customers.
Consider offering a service at the fair so kids have something to do while they’re there. Face painting, nails, tattoos, and hair accessorizing are just some of the possibilities. -
Trade.
If you end up with too much stuff that you haven’t sold, try trading with other kids for their products. -
Keep your group small.
Crafters will be sharing a table with other crafters. Keep your group small so you can all help with the display. -
Make your display creative.
You’ll attract more customers if you have a creative way to display your items than just laying them on the table. -
Have fun!
