I ran across some forum threads this evening while taking a break from my holiday craft fair prep work. In my experience so far, a lot of the points made by commenters really struck home. There are communication and etiquette boo-boos made by both buyers and sellers. I hope that the following links provide insight for everyone on both sides of the table at craft fairs, making buying and selling a little less stressful for both parties.
In this thread, Craft Fair Etiquette – getcrafty.com, buyers talk about some unbecoming things that often well-meaning browsers say and do.
In this thread on Etsy, seller DesignedByLucinda gives advice to sellers on how to handle thorny customer situations. Most of the advice is geared toward online selling, but can be tweaked for craft shows as well.
Happy reading!
