My first Arts and Crafts show

[Former_Member]

I have just accepted an invitation to my first Arts and crafts show. I have never been to one, so I am not sure how to go about setting up.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Just did one last weekend. It was my first and it was so much fun and a great learning experience. I will definitely do another one.

I have one table 10x4 in a conference room of the DA's office. So I am not sure what I should put out, if I should have props, some Christmas items for the event (not for sale). I am just not sure. What about a banner? Should I get a cash box?
I am so lost!

Any other advice?

Celeste is right! I just read as many of the old threads on the Craft Fairs team as I could.

I've only done one fair, but biggest thing I wish I had done was buy or make a better staging for elevating my products. I also wish I had put less on my table.

put emphasis on your presentation - what will make your table stand out? or grab peoples attention? You need to make sure you are well prepared with different packaging items - offer gift wrapping on the spot too, if you can swing it! :)
