The prices of craft shows do vary and sometimes a good craft show can be found in the oddest places. In this episode, I will be talking about the small craft shows and the inventory needed to get the sale and grow your customer base. Remember that every product is different so decide what product is your best seller and get it noticed. If no best selling products, that's fine...as I talk about that too.
