This episode is a big ol' love letter to craft fairs, farmers markets, and other local, community-based gatherings.

In this solo episode, Phoebe talks about craft fair tips– how to treat each show as an experiment, tips and tricks for load-in and load out, ideas for booth displays, and more.    Key Points: ✿ Social media does not define our success and how we are perceived on social media does not define our success. ✿ Craft Fairs are a great opportunity for increasing revenue, building community, and gaining awareness about your brand. ✿ It's important to keep an open mind and think about Craft Fairs as a marketing experiment because not every craft fair is going to work for you. ✿ The TikTok ban; how it's detrimental to be collecting email addresses and directing those followers/customers to other social platforms or monetizing thru Patreon or Substack.   Download our free Craft Fair e-book Amazon shop for craft fair displays   Get featured on our Mother's Day Gift Guide Summer Craft Fair applications are closing soon, apply now at girlgangcraft.com/apply   Follow us on Instagram @PhoebeSherman and @GirlGangCraft On TikTok @Phoebe.Sherman Like, subscribe, and watch our convos on YouTube For episode shownotes and transcript, please visit our website   Win a 30 minute coaching call with Phoebe!

Carlton Klein's first and most dramatic great adventure involved secretly dropping out of college, riding a bicycle to Mexico and taking every form of transportation but planes down to Bogota, Colombia. He writes, “I came away with some wild experiences like working on the Panama Canal, and trying to avoid drug mules in Mexico. That trip also did a lot for me in terms of reviving my zest for life and polishing out my social skills, but didn't sort out the larger issues.” It did, however, plant the seed for an idea that would become a business after another big transition.Originally from Chevy Chase, Maryland, Carlton worked in Washington, D.C. and, once he headed back to school, earned a master's degree in international development at the University of Maryland. He spent years spent living and working in developing countries including India, Burma (Myanmar) and Colombia.He had just completed his field work in India, working with the Wildlife Trust of India, and returned to the U.S. Covid-19 hit not long after, and he wound up running logistics for two Covid field hospitals.We discuss Carlton's transition from backpacking wanderlust to entrepreneur with an import business, how he found his way out of his own personal nadir, how he got the idea for Lost Canyon Imports and how he envisions his future.We talk about his concern over the growing homogeneity of the world, the fine line of exploitation and saving the arts of faraway cultures, and the sense of loss he feels as he witnesses cultures and traditions disappearing. One of the most tangible pieces of a culture, he believes, is the crafts they make. Carlton went back to Colombia, met with traditional artisans, filmed their process and the culture behind the pieces and started a company to sell their works in the U.S., contributing to a steady stream of income for them.You can reach Carlton Klein here: lostcanyonimports@gmail.comInstagram: @lostcanyonimportsYouTube: https://youtube.com/@LostCanyonImportsWebsite: https://www.lostcanyonimports.com/Places mentioned in this episode:Chevy Chase, MarylandMcDaniel CollegeUniversity of MarylandWashington, D.C.Austin, TexasEl Paso, TexasMexicoPanama CanalBogata, ColombiaNevado del Tolima, ColombiaBurmaMyanmarBolviaIndiaSibundoy Valley, ColombiaMagdalena River, Colombia CREDITSHost and creator: Christi CassidyContact: christi@movingalongpodcast.comArtwork by Phyllis BusellMusic by Eve's Blue.

Almost a decade later, Antique Candle Co has grown to over 50 employees and $8 million in annual revenue.From craft fairs to millions in revenue, how Brittany Whitenack turned her love of candle-making into a multi-million dollar business in less than 10 years.WILDFLOWER SHOWNOTES : shannaskidmore.com/brittany-whitenack

REJECTION! Never Take It Personally! I know that's easier said than done and, it can be super painful and debilitating!  I know because I've had experiences in my life, especially as a teenager (if you know what I mean!) But also in my business too.  Early on when I used to make things and try to sell them at Craft Fairs and not very many people were buying the things that I made was really, really hard. That felt like the ultimate rejection I could have ever experienced in my business. In life and in your business you're going to have people reject you and/or your ideas, or, criticize you and, criticizing is also a form of rejection because they're being negative about what you say, do, and make. But I want to tell you that to remember that  It's never about you when you're criticized or rejected, it's always about them-the other person. When you are successful you will have people criticize you and then reject you because they usually aren't successful themselves and have a deep sense of lack they feel within.  You have two choices: You can take the route that will lead you to ignore the critics and let it motivate you to prove that what you're doing is worth it, or, you can take the route that will lead you to get upset and drop out of life or your business. Which are you going to choose? You are different!  Creative people like you are different!  And being different comes with its own rewards like having success in your business, having a more fulfilling life, and more. What can you do to motivate yourself when you've been rejected? Here are the things that you can do:  Remember that you were created by God, remember your WHY, remember your creative gifts, and remember that with your gifts-you can make a difference in your family, your community, or the world. If you want success in whatever you're doing you have to ignore the critics and remember that being rejected doesn't define who you are and it doesn't devalue your worth.  REMEMBER! Never take rejection personally!   ⬇️   If you're a creative person who's interested in learning how to make your creative passion into a business I will help with clarity, I will hold your hand and walk with you from start to finish, and just like I used to sew elaborate outfits I will help you put all the different pieces together until you have a beautiful creation. I am going to be your cheerleader, your technical advisor, and I'm going to be your accountability coach.  Email me at  aloha@janinjohnston.com You can also download this free business starter kit to help you get started right away, just click on this link: https://janin-johnston.mykajabi.com/businessstarterkit Please Rate, Review & Follow in Apple Podcasts!       Music by: The Late-Dennis Pavao

About the Show:                           We recently sat down with Jake Lewis, the founder of WoodWorx Workshop. Jake is a  talented artist and woodworker.  He learned to marry his passion for woodworking and art with business. He takes recycled wood and repurposes them into works of art for all to enjoy - see some of the examples in the show notes below. I spent some time in Jake’s tidy little workshop just off the Greenway on the Fayetteville and Johnson line, where I got a chance to watch work on one of his new creations, and then we sat down to talk shop - no pun intended. Jake shared an example of how he learned to handle wood and the tools necessary to make his works of art.  He is pretty much self-taught, and from the looks of the art that he is creating, he had a great teacher.  Jake attends many Craft Fairs around the State and is a regular fixture at the Bentonville Market, Ozark Natural Foods, and the Velvet Otter.  All this and more on this I am Northwest Arkansas episode.   Important Links and Mentions on the Show*: WoodWorx Workshop 6302 S.

In this episode we talk about arts markets and craft fairs where artists and makers can sell directly to the public. My guest is Debbie Allen who organises the Camberwell Arts Market and we discuss how people can make a strong application, the best image types to use for your promotion, how they can improve their experience of the market by promoting to their audience. We discuss the the benefits of trading at arts markets so artists and makers can meet their customers directly, sell without commission, meet other makers and artists and build their network. Then we move onto the practicalities of finding the right market for you and the questions you should consider when choosing a market to trade at. Next we discuss the preparation you can do in order to have a successful days trading. Instagram @thegitajoshi @camberwellartsfestival

This episode of The Happy Rant brings about a significant first - the first time Ted and Barnabas have ever set foot in the same room and at the Baptist Mecca itself - LifeWay Christian Resources. The chemistry is astounding, like Woodward and Bernstein or the showtime Lakers. They cover such wide ranging topics as the following: Barnabas's baby face and/or aging gracefully Ronnie's trip to a hipster craft fair Was the booing of Mike Pence at Hamilton really a big deal? Who likes musicals any how and if Ronnie could star in one what would his role be? The trend of leaving evangelicalism - what does it mean and does it make any sense? And of course we ought to remind you of the incredible opportunity to bedazzle your life with Happy Rant swag. Go to MissionalWear.com, search "Happy Rant" and load up on the awesome gear they have put together featuring our logo.

Please find some links and notes from the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. Terry and Aaron will talk about promoting your business - from vendors to decorators. We'll talk about the pros and cons of opportunities such as trade shows, social media, open houses, even knocking on doors, and more. Sponsored by: Equipment Zone Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys is all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants or lectures or selling. We are not doing this for our employers, but rather for our industry. For the past three years, 2 Regular Guys has been the first and the most listened to garment decorating industry podcast on this planet! We are humbled by all of you tuning in each week. We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better, and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list and you'll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening!! Promoting Your Business Trade shows This is more for vendors selling equipment and supplies Can be good for decorators - Home Shows, Craft Fairs. Do you need to be at all or most “to be seen”? # of shows too many? Can you abandon shows? Can you lead the charge of others away? Said for supplies and equipment but end-user printers sometimes exhibit (but not repeating often) Sponsorships, seminars, in-booth seminars Social media It's a must in my book. It is where people are at. 802 Million Active Users DAILY on Facebook (Would be largest country on the planet) Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Spinning wheels… or a piece of the promotional pie? Percentage of content Hootsuite is the tool you need Internet YouTube Webinars Webinars as a sales meeting Booking Meetings via Web / Hubspot Blogs? Website Content, content, content… or can you offer straight products and shopping carts? Email programs Unsolicited emails from companies and individuals I've never heard of get the immediate delete from me. Scheduled discount programs and deals Open houses I am a huge proponent of having events at your location with a captive audience People like to see behind the magic curtain. Knocking on doors Local/regional sellers, whether supplier or decorator, will find this to be a relationship technique. Atlas example… offering value by doing shop check-ups. Summary Must know who you want as customers and who wants to be your customer. Important to have a plan - As you could hear below you could do stuff 24/7 and still be behind Focus on one area at a time, don't try to do everything. Must measure your success and keep doing that. Don't be afraid to try new things once you have master something else. Chat Log: MarshallAtkinson: NBM Show was great! ErichCampbell: I had major FOMO seeing all of you folks posting pics. :) 2 Regular Guys Talking Decoration: Erich when do you head out for the shop tune up? ErichCampbell: That should be (fingers crossed) the 19th-24th. Failing that, the week after. ErichCampbell: Saw your FB comment about how things have been going, Marshall- couldn't be for a better guy, sir. :) ErichCampbell: It seems to me with the rise of social media and relationship marketing, that trade shows become the way to lock down those relationships with face time. (Though it makes me a hypocrite since I never get out to them) KristineShreve: We primarily do the DAX Shows, and it's great to have people tell us that they anticipate seeing us there. ErichCampbell: Do you have repeat customers that always come out, Kristine? ErichCampbell: Do you enjoy doing the shows? KristineShreve: Yes. We have people who will contact us to make sure we're going to be there. ErichCampbell: (rattling chains) I am not. ;) MarshallAtkinson: Best way to do Trade Shows is to have appointments wit...

  Do you have a skill that you'd love to teach to others? Or maybe you just love connecting brilliant women in business with each other and with new customers. In addition to selling handmade purses, Angie Gordon does both of these things. She teaches classes locally on how to open and grow an Etsy shop, and she created the Handmade Chic Artist's Fair - a twice-annual event for handmade sellers to showcase and sell their items. Plus, I have to say, this conversation was one of the quirkiest and most fun we've had yet! You'll have to press play below to see what I mean!

She and a friend decided they wanted to make themselves bag. They found a pattern and tried their hand at sewing. Angie quickly discovered that she hates using patterns! From the lingo to the little pieces to cut out and match together, Angie finds the process tedious and strange. So, she designs her purses in her head and comes up with a process all her own. As Angie started wearing her bags, friends at school and church would ask for one. The business started to grow and spread organically, and all of a sudden, people she didn't know were asking for her bags.At the request of a friend, Angie began doing home parties in people's houses, and her business continued to grow. And once again, it was a friend who introduced Angie to Etsy! She started selling there in 2010. Encouragement for New Etsy Sellers Angie helps many brand new Etsy sellers get their shops off the ground with her classes, and one of the biggest misconception about selling online that she sees is that people assume if they simply put their work out there, people will come. Selling online simply doesn't work that easily. You have to spend a lot of time and work hard to get found and get sales. And you need a lot of patience too! The hardest part of selling on Etsy is getting noticed initially and getting your first few sales. But if you take a few minutes away from making your craft and figure out how to take great pictures, work on your listings to come up with the best tags and titles, and get your name out into the world with some marketing strategies, you'll start to see results. "Don't give up!" Angie says. She's in several Facebook groups for handmade sellers, and she sees so many of them get discouraged really quickly. Angie didn't grow her business overnight - it took several years to get a steady stream of sales. Coffee + Etsy = Perfection! A few years ago, Angie started teaching workshops on how to get started selling on Etsy. Once again, the people found Angie! Friends and family would send emails and Facebook messages asking if she could help them get their shop started. But Angie didn't have an hour to spend with each person who asked. A friend suggested that Angie gather a whole group of newbies and teach classes on Etsy. She found a coffee shop that let her use a room and a projector for free! Lessons Learned from Teaching Angie's first workshop was 2.5 hours long, very comprehensive, and when she finished, she saw nothing but deer in headlights! She made sure the next class was smaller, and they started at the very beginning of opening their shops. writing their policies, creating an about page, and figuring our shipping. The women there literally brought out their laptops or ipads and got to work on their shops while Angie circulated around the room to help. Angie answered questions as they came up, and everyone left feeling equipped to open their first Etsy shop!After that, Angie hosted a class on product photography, then branding, and she continues to bring on other experts to provide advice on various topics. Advertising + Pricing Angie started a Sheboygen, Wisconsin Etsy Sellers Facebook group, so she posts to the group when she's hosting a class. This alone, has been enough for Angie to fill her classes! Angie charges just $20 per person for each class. She wants to keep it affordable for brand new sellers, but the small amount of money she makes helps to compensate her for her time. Angie says that she spends the better part of a Thursday before class immersing herself in the topic she's teaching on, and putting together folders full of printed materials that everyone can take home. (Angie's so nice she even buys the ladies a cup of coffee for the class!) Is Teaching a Business Strategy? We were curious about whether teaching classes is something Angie views as part of her business, or just something she does to be generous to new sellers. Angie considers her classes a hobby with benefits! She absolutely loves teaching, and she gets so excited when she has a class scheduled, but the small income she makes from classes is definitely not the meat and potatoes of her business. For any women out there who may be considering starting their own classes, you should know that there are other ways you could do them. Angie chooses to make hers informal, but you could get in touch with your local Chamber of Commerce, or you could suggest that you teach a class to your local Community or Public College!Many cities have a parks and rec department that offers classes for adults too. You don't have to teach about business - you could teach about your craft or hobby. You could even host a one-day conference on your field of expertise! Expert Enough It's easy to get excited about the idea of teaching others, but quickly count ourselves out because we don't think we're expert enough to do it. Sarah and I say "you're expert enough!" There is always someone a few steps behind you that you can teach. And Angie admits that she still doesn't know everything, but she teaches what she does know. And some of the things she teaches took her years to figure out! She loves passing along what she's learned and giving someone else a shortcut. There's also value in learning from someone who's only a few steps ahead versus five thousand steps. That person who is miles in front of you may not remember what it was like at the starting line. They tend to gloss over the beginning and simplify the process of getting started. The person just a few steps ahead well remembers what it was like, and all the exact steps she took to get where she is today. Angie saw an illustration the other day that serves as encouragement: There's a guy running really slow, but he says, "I'm lapping everybody on the couch." Handmade Chic Angie seems to have a trend of jumping into something fun that a friend suggested, and then later turning it into a something big! About 7 years ago Angie did a house party in her home to sell her purses. She hosted the party in November, and this time, she invited a few other maker friends to come and sell too. The night went so well for the sellers that it became a tradition. After the second year, people started calling Angie and asking if they could be a part of it! 4 years ago, Angie had 14 people sell in her home, and 70 people walking through during a 2-hour timespan! 2 years ago, Angie and her family moved into an older home with a less open floor plan, the November event had 80 visitors who were shoulder to shoulder, so she had to find a bigger place! Angie moved Handmade Chic to the coffee shop where she had been teaching classes. The coffee shop was so generous - letting Angie and the makers take over the entire shop, and even helping her advertise. She tried Handmade Chic in the summer to test out how it would go in the shop, and then they did it again in November. During the first summer event in the shop, they had 85 come through on a Saturday morning. Last year, in the 3rd week of November, they had over 200 people come through the coffee shop during a 3-hour window! Recently, Angie did another summer show at the coffee shop, and this time, she took applications and branded it as Handmade Chic Artist's Fair. It's official! Angie has been very intentional in branding her event as exclusively handmade items. Handmade Chic has a problem, though, they're outgrowing the coffee shop! It's a good problem to have, and Angie is fervently looking for a bigger space for this year's show. Craft Show Fees Angie charges just $35 for a 5 by 5 foot space inside the coffee shop, because they're very limited on space! But outside, a vendor can take a chance on the Wisconsin weather and pay just $20 for unlimited space.At this point, Angie doesn't take home a paycheck for hosting the craft fair. She uses the money in fees to advertise for the event. But this year, if they find a bigger space they can get more artists involved and have enough money to advertise and pay themselves too! (Or, as Angie says, at least pay her right-hand girl Kim who does a lot of work for the event!) Craft Show Advertising When Angie first turned her November open house into an event, she would go on Vistaprint and make post cards. She mailed them out to everyone she knew and handed them out at school and church.Early on, about 90% of the visitors to the even were people she invited and knew, and then there were a few guests from other vendors. To this day, people come to the show and thank Angie for sending out a post card! It may be old school, but that physical reminder can make a big difference for a local event. It goes up on the fridge, and people don't forget to come. Angie also orders plenty so that the other makers can hand out postcards as well.Now that the show is growing, Angie runs Facebook ads too. She shows them to people within a 45-mile radius of Sheboygen, and a few months ago when they welcomed everyone to the show, they discovered that many visitors found out about it on Facebook! Welcoming guests to the event and offering a door prize serves another function too - they're able to get email addresses so they can let all the attendees know about the event for next year. Angie's local radio station advertises community events for free. They'll read them on air for a week or two leading up to an event. In addition, Angie hires someone to write an article about the event, and it gets published in local newspapers. Once again - free advertising for the fair! Building a Reputation Because Angie has been very intentional in her branding of her craft show, she's building a good reputation that will help Handmade Chic grow from year to year. Friends love to tell others about which craft shows are great (and which ones stink!) Angie realized early on that visitors were coming just for the handmade items, and those with home party businesses didn't sell well. So she decided to make the show juried and only accept the right handmade sellers. Angie's recommendation for a juried show: Hire yourself a "Kim"! There's nothing more difficult than having to turn down friends and family who want to sell at your show. But if you leave the decision to someone else, you can tell your loved ones that it's out of your hands. :) How many hours (& cups of coffee!) does it take? We were curious about the number of hours it takes to plan and put on a craft show.Angie didn't have a number. She just had one word: INSANE. Between her June and November shows, Angie only has about 6 weeks of down time before she's planning again! On the list: picking a theme and colors designing the postcards creating the applications receiving and deciding on applicants updating the website communicating with the artists advertising the event setting up the day before being the first one there and the last one to leave Angie says when she's not physically working on the craft show, she's thinking about it, but it's something she really looks forward to. The grossest of gross story Angie described her funny mom moment in just that way! We'll leave it at that - you'll have to tune in to hear the crazy thing Angie's girls did when they were little. And shhh don't you dare tell them she shared this story on the podcast! Stay in touch with Angie! Gathered-Sown.comEtsy shop: Gathered and Sown

This Week’s Episode I interviewed Grace Dobush, a full time freelance writer and part-time crafty business owner, in this week’s episode. Grace and I talked about many topics including prepping for your first indie craft show, deciding whether Etsy is the right online marketplace for your craft business, tips for starting up as a freelance writer in the craft scene, negotiating for a higher rate, and more!

Since this book is the first Crafter’s Market, I wanted to interview one of the contributors, and Grace was happy to oblige. In our interview, we talked about the topics covered in Grace’s two chapters in the 2015 Crafter’s Market, “Indie Craft Shows” and “Pricing Your Work.” We also discussed Grace’s February article in WIRED, “How Etsy Alienated Its Crafters and Lost Its Soul” and Etsy’s recent announcement about filing a registration statement for an initial public offering (IPO). I referenced a recent discussion about whether Etsy is the best online marketplace for yarn crafters, as well as an interview I did with Alexandra Tavel from Two of Wands on Etsy that I’ll be sharing on the podcast next week. Grace also shared her tips for getting started as a freelance writer in the crafting space, as well as her philosophy on negotiation.

A long two-parter where we talk all about the ins and outs of selecting, preparing for, and participating in a local farmers market.

We take some great feedback. Jams, jellies, marmalades, and preserves, oh my! Farmstead updates. Chicken Incest! And we talk some about some of the fundamental answers to the question why?

Man, it's cold! We take some feedback, I find a long time listener, talk about Fall Fling, install some gutters, make some Bee Koozies, and explore the many splendid aspects of mulch!

Pressed for time this week. We get a great shoutout from Sean and Cim, talk about horses, curse the carpenter ants, and badmouth hicks that cannot tell the difference between a honeybee and a hornet.

Uno, Dos, Tres, Catorce! For nearly an hour, show 14 finds me taking our inaugural voice mail, almost making it through the feedback without botching someone's name, bidding farewell to our rooster, looking forward to Inman Farm Heritage Days, skirting the law.. maybe, and pontificating on the idea of setting up an outyard. Thanks for listening!
