Craft promotion

There’s nothing more frustrating than spending months and months working to get ready to an art show or craft fair only to find that other booths are full of pre-made items. You work hard on your handmade crafts and art, and you spend a lot of time working on these things. It’s annoying when other citizen can undersell you with cheap items they’ve imported or bought from wholesalers. If you want to keep art festivals and craft shows handmade, there are some things you can do.

One thing you can do is to just boycott the festivals that allow non-handmade items. Check out all the requirements, and if the festival allows pre-made items or resale items, just don’t go. If sufficient vendors do this and by comparison why they’re doing it when they’re asked, those who produce craft fairs and art shows will at last get the point because they’ll start losing all their vendors.

Another thing you can do is look for juried art shows and craft festivals. These are only going to let in the best of the best. If you can get into one of these shows, you have a good opportunity of meeting some new higher scale clientele who of course want to have totally handmade items. The application process for juried shows can be more complex, but it can by all means; of course help you to avoid shows where other vendors have booths stuffed with imported nonsense.

If you’re frustrated that a small local show is allowing non-handmade items into the show, you can by all means; of course band together with other local sellers. Taste the assosication or division who hosts the show, and let them know that they’ll lose any sellers if they don’t decree to ban wholesale and resale items. This can be very sufficient if you’ve got the assosication and manpower to help this work for you.

Finally, you can all the time make sure that your booth is full only of handmade items. Set a good example for others, and make sure your customers know that your items are fully handmade. You can even communicate your creation process or allow your customers to see you development the items that you’re selling. This can let citizen know how much of a disagreement there is between handmade and non-handmade items. As more citizen start to opt for the handmade options, you’ll find that craft fairs start to cater more toward handmade crafts and art items.
