Hi Everyone~ I will be selling in my first outdoor craft fair next weekend - I have done some indoor fares, but never any outside. It is a new venue in our downtown area where thousands of tourists visit each day. It will be Sat, Sun & Mon from now until end of September. The fees seem reasonable - $10 per weekend plus 5% of sales.
I am busy deciding how to rearrange my display, decorate my tent and make everything look inviting. I use market baskets and crates to display my soaps. I think I'll test it out here at home tomorrow and see what I may need.
I am also anxious about dealing with the weather - rain and wind ) Working on best method to keep tent anchored - tying sand bags to the legs or using some lumber to screw the legs to. Depending on the weather, I will probably take down each day even though it will take more time as I worry about the wind and about leaving everything out where you never know what could happen.
Does anyone have some advice on doing outdoor shows for a newbie?
Thanks!
