Hand-made exhibitions are gaining popularity and are held in many large cities. On them, craftsmen can present their products and make money on their sometimes very expensive hobby. However, in order for buyers to come to you, it is necessary to organize everything correctly and be able to behave at the exhibition.
Instruction manual
1
To begin, think about how your place will look. Most likely, you will be given a table and a chair, and then you will need to figure out on your own how to decorate these items. Usually, the craftswomen cover a not-too-presentable surface of the table with a cloth. If you decide to do the same, choose a discreet monophonic fabric so that it emphasizes the beauty of your products, and does not merge with them. If you have a jewelry stand, take it with you. Try to make your table original and not like the others, because you need it to attract attention.
2
Buyers are much more willing to go to a stylish, tidy and polite seller. Therefore, think in the evening what you will wear and what hairstyle you will do. It will be great if you take any of your products as an accessory. It is often difficult for the buyer to understand how the thing lying on the table will look like, but when he sees it on the model, he wants himself the same.
3
Do not be nervous and do not try to predict that buyers will take more willingly. Of course, there are some seasonal preferences: in December, it is better to buy mittens, and in spring - rings and earrings. But if at the last exhibition you were more likely to take pendants made of wire, this does not mean that this will happen this time either. Therefore, prepare those products that you like yourself.
4
You should not go to the exhibition with the thought that you need to sell as much as possible - the effect will be exactly the opposite. On the contrary, tune in to the fact that you have come to the holiday - to chat with friends-craftsmen, show everyone your crafts, exchange experiences, listen to music and just have a good time. And if at the same time you still manage to sell your products - just fine!
5
The main thing for the seller is to be polite and friendly. Buyers are different, and unique handmade products are sometimes still equated with children's crafts. Therefore, do not be surprised that you will probably be asked why it is so expensive, and in what group you are engaged. Your products will still wait for their owners.
6
Usually the exhibition lasts all day. Therefore, on the eve it would be nice to have a good night's sleep, and grab a snack with you. The mood of a well-fed and rested person is noticeably better than that of a hungry and sleepy person, which means that buyers will be drawn to you.
