Tis The Craft Fair Season

I'm sorry it has been so long since I've posted but my sister in law Crystal and I have been SLAMMED with craft fairs! So I thought I would post a few pictures from the two of our latest craft fair that we kicked butt at! Haha! The events were scheduled for the same weekend. The first one was a three day event; Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and the second one pictured was held that same Saturday. Since Crystal and I have built our team up quickly over the past year (for all of you CTMH consultants you will see our name, Women Running With Scissors on our consultant website) it was a no-brainer that it would be a fantastic opportunity to get them out there and mingling with the public!The first one pictured is from our local "Home & Holiday Show". This was more of a vendor fair but our home made crafts really hit home with all the customers and our downlines really got to feel the stress and the excitement of having a booth at such a big event!
 
We first had the booth set up this way but then really noticed a lack of interest in our booth. Although our downlines being so new they weren't quite as equip as Crystal and I, and with us being at another craft fair this same day we had a lot of our own stands and displays. So when Crystal and I arrived we switched around a few things and sold items instantly! Check this out!!
 
 
Minus the soda on the left hand side having the booth set up this way brought in a bunch of customers! We had a drawing with a basket that all of us pulled together with new, old, and retired items and was a huge hit!
 
The craft fair that Crystal and I attended was at a high school at a town only 15 miles away from our home town. This show is very well known around, has fabulous advertisement and at the end of all of it we SOLD OUT! We booked parties and had a lot of interest in CTMH!
We have found in the years we've done craft fairs that black table cloths are the best to use. Mainly because we are such colorful people and so are our crafts we like to keep the "busyness" to the crafts and not to colorful table cloths. If you are trying to celebrate a certain holiday let your art work speak for itself!

We always like to keep our table clean and tidy keeping enough product on the table to keep constant interest but not cluttered to where people just walk by! Once items sell we replenish them with our stash under the table!!

 
We have so much fun doing these and as of right now we have 4 down and 3 to go! We are finally getting know and its amazing! We have multiple customers that we email our craft schedules to so that they can come and Christmas shop and they love being our regulars as much as we love them being regulars!
