| | Craft Fairs, Bazaars & Flea Markets…Oh, My!Written by Anita DeFrank
Many names are associated with events such as these. Craft Fairs, Bazaars, Flea Markets and Swap Meets are a few names you can find. Whatever name…they all mean same thing. They allow you to meet new and interesting people (hopefully customers), spend quality time with your family and more of course most importantly make some extra cash. But, before you debut your first table at one of these events, getting yourself prepared is first step. The following is a guideline you can follow to help make sure you're ready.1. First of course you'll want to find events that are held in your area. This is about easiest task of all. You're sure to find them everywhere. Check you local newspaper, browse bulletin boards, and watch for fliers. 2. Next, attend a few local events yourself. Take a look around and view things from a customer's point of view. Which tables caught your eye first and why? What sort of products/merchandise is being carried? Most importantly, what's isn't there? Try to visualize how you'd like your table to look. 3. Once you've found event you'd like to attend, reserve your table. Most events have an event manager. Find out who's in charge and contact them. Pricing will vary from one event to next. Be sure to find out average attendance to make sure it's worth money. Don't forget to ask questions such as availability of electricity (if needed), size of your "booth", anything forbidden? 4. Make sure you have enough inventory. Stock up on catalogs, brochures and business cards. Make a list of all supplies you'll need. Are you going to have samples available?

Do you have ability to accept credit cards? Are you going to take checks? Does your bank accept check from customers out of area?
