Dear Sellers,
Summer craft fair season is upon us! I've been watching The New New street team organize their booth each week at Brooklyn Flea. This weekend the New New leaves the Brooklyn Flea nest and heading for the Bust Spring Craftacular at the Warsaw. If you're in NYC, make sure you drop by and check out the hard work they put into organizing and displaying their booth! They'll have lots of freebees to make it worth your while!
Here are some tips, and some photos of the New New booth to help inspire you for your next big show.
1. Make a nice big banner!
2. Brand your goods with labels and packaging! Like MiraArtz does here:
3. Create an inviting atmosphere!
4. Set up your booth to draw shoppers in.
5. Create different heights to display your goods, get as much as you can at eye level.
Hope these tips and photos help you with your booth displays! Have any more tips and tricks? Leave them in the comments below. And good luck at the Bust Spring Fling Craftacular this Sunday, New New York Team!

Fantastic! The {NewNew} is dividing and conquering this weekend!
Tip: Don't forget lots of business cards! People may not buy from you the day of, but giving out your business cards will give them an opportunity to browse your shop after. Who knows, it may lead to an even bigger sale!

A first show can be so overwhelming! Thanks Danielle for the story. This can really help a lot of people, at least get the wheels spinning in their head, prepare for their first show.
I second what KimmChi and Fubabee said. Accept credit cards and bring plenty of business cards. For me, business cards have always helped the sales continue to trickle in after the actual event was over.

This article is right on time! I just got into my first outdoor crafts show, the Indie Craft Experience (http://ice-atlanta.com) in Atlanta. It's on June 7th, and I see I have a lot to prepare for. I can't wait!
