Hey Fannie, sorry to hear this, BUT you have 1 more day!

you know I own a small business so here 1 of the tips to do going into a "new" location

Make a Simple Signup sheet (Name- email - Phone) but use a printer and put on a Clipboard so it looks more professional.

Everyone that purchases from you, down to the smallest item will be "Allowed" to sign up for a chance to Win your Drawing.
Hold your drawing mid-day tomorrow, thank them for signing up for this drawing and remind them to come back at (xyz time). I read you are worried about your Bags - so think about making this Drawing for a Free Bag perhaps from a selection you would like other's to purchase?

When time does this open? 8 or 9 am? Have the drawing 1. You are beginning this craft fair so now to encourage people to come around your shopping area. Or you can allow everyone to signup in hopes for a larger crowd. All of this is leading to 2 things - One the Most potential customers around your "shop" at a given time, and (2) Someone walking around telling people about YOUR bag! That word of mouth = priceless

Look at it like the Daily Deal - They are not making any money off those - BUT when you get the daily deal, what are the chances that you WILL buy something else? I would bet it's 60-75%??

Reasoning = When a booth is very busy and there is a lot of activity, everyone wants to go and see why so many others are there :-) The old saying it takes money to make money.

Also it does help if you set this up as a business. Get a Business Tax ID, frame and Display this. These are very reasonable to purchase (many states free) I don't recall what the Federal EIN charge was? But, they are cheap and worth it if owning your own business IS something you keep doing. Set up a "business" ie. do you have the capability to accept most credit cards, have professional looking biz cards if you want to take phone/email or "website" orders.

Have plenty of a variety of well displayed and stocked items... this shows potential customers you are ready to earn their business.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I try to keep very private about my business, but realize what I have learned may help others just beginning and I'd love to see you succeed too!
