Maker's Show Are They Worth It?

Good morning maker's I hope you all have had a product week and are getting ready for the weekend.  So what are you doing this October weekend? Are you doing any events?  Which leads me to the topic Knowing What Events Work For You.

I did quite a few events last year and I learned a lot! I learned that not all events are equal what do I mean there is a great divide on this because I feel that Crafter's who craft and learn a technique sell throughout the year at local school/fairs/etc. they are very good & talented people and then there are Artist they spend hours upon hours design their entire piece from start to finish like I do and our price points are usually quite different and so when I was at one of those meshed events I didn't do well not at all. Don't get me wrong I made a lot of contacts but no money. Unfortunately their isn't as far as I know a site the can tell you exactly what type of show it is and I have never after a event been asked to fill out a questionnaire which I think would greatly help both the Event Coordinator and us don't you?

So here is your chance to give me some feedback on your thoughts about shows. I have decided to pick my show differently I have asked artist who are in my realm of work their thoughts are shows that they have done and so far I haven't been doing many this year.

Always,
Imperfectly Beautiful Designs
