I displayed my work at The Crafter's Expo 2014 this december. it was so much fun meeting people who love and appreciate art and handmade. I had been preparing for 2-3 months but never had the slightest idea having your own booth is so much more than just making cards!
The things i needed were:
* a panaflex for my booth
* visiting cards
* shopping bags with my brand name
* plastic seal envelopes
* a log book
* a notebook for taking orders with the customer's mailing addresses
* a LOT of change
* large price tags ( i had four price ranges)
* mints
* tissue box
* trash bag
* stands & boxes of different heights to display the cards effectively
* tapes,stapler, common pins, thumb pins, safety pins, some stamps & inks, markers, scissors etc.
* an effective social media campaign (through facebook, twitter, instagram & whatsapp)
* 2 helpers
* a good camera to take pictures (which i forgot)
* A good night's sleep (that we crafters can never get a day before the exhibition)
* don't forget your cards at home in all this mess :P
hope this checklist helps you.
and here's a picture of me at my stall at The Crafter's Expo 2014

Happy New Year
