How do you display your art at a craft fair?

Every craft show display should (properly) use color. Consider your target market and the colors they're likely to be attracted to. Are the soft pastels, earth tones, or dark and moody colors? Typically, the fewer colors used, the stronger the impact (and the easier it is to create a cohesive display).

How many items should you sell at a craft fair?

In craft circles, there's a lot of talk about the “7x rule.” According to this rule, makers should aim to sell 7 times what they pay for the booth fee at a craft fair. So, if you go to a craft fair that has a $200 booth fee, you'll want to sell at least $1,400 worth of merchandise. 45,000/1,400 = 32.14.
