I am friends with a lot of talented individuals whose creativity oozes out with the way they talk and do their thing. They are people who like to do their thing apart from anything else in the world. They started selling their crafts and the income they receive from this made them quit their daytime jobs. They have come to terms on getting to the next level.
If you happen to be adept (or even just starting) in making your own crafts and would want to start your own business then here are a few tips on how to get you started and hopefully achieving your dreams. First thing to do is you need to establish your business name and logo. A word of advice: consider the product youre selling as it has to coincide with your name and logo. This is important so that your customers can remember who you are and what you are selling.
Next is to check out the local listings in your neighborhood to see the schedules of craft fairs or craft shows. Your goal here is to participate in these events by having an exhibit or booth dedicated to your crafts. You may get the contact persons in charge of the exhibitors and get in touch with them as to how you can be part of their fair. Remember to take note of some policies that they may bring up.
Get in touch with your products prices and payment terms. You may want to give off specific discounts for customers willing to buy your crafts wholesale. Try checking out the prices of other competitors so you can have a better view at how much you can ask for each of your product. You may opt to lower your prices for better chances of selling.
Relax and savor the experience of meeting new and prospective clients. Dont forget to place your name and contact details on each craft as orders may just start pouring in!
