After visiting the Crafts for Christmas exhibition at the Birmingham NEC this year and stocking up with supplies, I was really excited to have a stall all of my own at a few Christmas Fayres on the run up to the festive season. I’ve done two so far and have some pics below of my stall.
There are quite a few learns I took away with me after doing just these two but am really interested in your Christmas Fayre experiences, tips, pitfalls etc. I found that:
– Anything edible seems to go well – chocolate christmas pudding cupcakes sold out within about 20 mins
– People do not take huge amounts of money to Christmas Fayres (especially school ones) so have lots of cheaper items
– It is a good way to network and get possible future orders
– Make sure you have a good float with lots of change
– Oh and make sure you take sticky tape, blue tack, a pen, some bags for peoples purchases
– You can negotiate on stall prices (sometimes)
Would love to hear from others who have braved the Christmas Fayres this year and how you found it…… get in touch
