Craft Shows are coming! Are you Ready?

Believe it or not, now is the time to start looking for and applying for craft shows for the year!

Are you new to craft shows?  Overwhelmed and not sure where to start or what to do?

I wrote a 21-page eBook just for you!

Preparation is key to having a good day at a craft show, and this informative PDF will help you get prepared.

That being said, I do not guarantee any of the information contained in this eBook will lead to sales. My hope is that this information will help you feel confident and prepared for your craft show so that you can do the best within the limitations of the show itself.

What you'll find in this eBook:

- My History
- Before the Show (Finding Shows, Your Stand, Examples from my Stand, Trying Out Your Stand, Your Products and the Show)
- Preparation for the Show (Packing lists, Snacks/meals, marketing, Preparing your Etsy Shop, Dress)
- Set up (Step-by-step Getting Ready and Setting Your Stand Up)
- During the Show (What do I say? What do I do? Other Vendors, Checkout, Credit Cards)
- At the End of the Show
- Other Tips
- Weekly Markets

All this information is just $5!  And it will be in your email inbox in 24-48 hours (probably much more quickly than that!)

To purchase, please visit my Etsy Shop.
