Craft Fair Vlog | Prepping, How it Went | Selling Art at a Country Fair

Join me as I vlog my second craft fair experience at the Hodder Valley Country Show in Clitheroe. I show you how I get organised and prep everything for the 1 day event including mounting prints, packing greeting cards and how I set up my stall. I hope that you enjoy this video and find it helpful if you'd like to get into craft fairs!

Thanks for another great video, Shannon! It is very informative. I was wondering how you are able to price your cards so low? Do you buy in large bulk orders? Also, when will you have your field mouse card or print up on your Etsy? 🤩

[@shannonmullin]

Thank you I'm glad you found it helpful! I buy as many as possible so they cost me about £1 each. Profit margins aren't high for me on cards, not unless you buy them in massive quantities (which I can't yet) or perhaps print them yourself. Good question I need to get them up online soon - I'll work on it! Thank you ☺️

Drawing onsite is a great idea!

[@shannonmullin]

Thank you Joan! I think people will make the connection instantly I'm looking forward to trying it out ☺️

[@brucenunn3268]

Watched the whole thing. Thank you for sharing.! Love the work.!

[@shannonmullin]

Thank you Bruce I'm glad you liked it!

[@JB-gk9cl]

Very informative thank you. I’ve just completed our Art Society exhibition….. and sold only 5 cards……just covered the entry fee! I like the idea of your mounted cards, what colour mount do you use? Shame you didn’t sell any I suppose they expected them to be framed too!

[@shannonmullin]

I'm glad you found it helpful. At least you covered the entry fee! I find it varies so much depending on where it is and what day of the week. Thank you, I'm not sure on the colour as my framer has so many and I just go and choose based on how it matches. She has about 4-5 different whites 😊

[@JB-gk9cl]

Good point, thank you.

[@HipsyJ]

I think drawing at the next one will really ‘draw’ people in. Pardon the pun 😊. Glad it went well for you, Shannon.

[@shannonmullin]

I think so too! 😆 Thank you so much Jayney ☺️

[@vwdwchallenge]

Really found this helpful, thank you,just subbed 😊

[@shannonmullin]

So glad you found it helpful, thank you 😊

[@vwdwchallenge]

@shannonmullin just invested in a cheap contactless card machine, going to try and vlog what I can without upsetting any other stall holders😊

[@zoeburr2964]

love this video, so helpful! can't wait to see your next craft fair, so glad to hear your planning on doing more, hopefully I can catch one eventually!

[@shannonmullin]

Thank you Zoe! I have 2 booked in now, I'm proud of myself for sticking to it so far 😆 I'm sure you will do great if you do!

[@BritgirlTX]

Please keep your money on you at all times. A cash box is cute but …. Easily taken. Your cards and prints are so lovely! 🐭

[@shannonmullin]

I think a money belt would be more useful next time as I managed to lose some money at this craft fair! 🙈 thank you so much!

[@aaliyah9832]

@@shannonmullin How did you lose the money? :( x

[@shannonmullin]

@@aaliyah9832 we went to get some breakfast before it started and I took the cash box and lost a £20 note somehow 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

[@aaliyah9832]

@@shannonmullin oh noo 😔 thanks for all your tips. I'm looking for a craft fair to sell at next month and your advice definitely helped 😊 would a fanny pack make me look less professional?

[@Pedreirodesenhista]
