Just a quick comment to say thanks. I love that you do these videos, where you show complete transparency. This video where you say how much you made. Another video you showed how to find out how much KZbinrs makes. It is very enlightening. The main channel is faily behind the scenes as it is, so these are like behind the scenes of behind the scenes. I love it!

David another great video! Thank you! I do a lot of craft/art shows and most of them are outside so my list is a little different. I would add sunscreen, a roll of duct tape, Leather Man, Hand Truck, Paper towels and windex for cleaning the products, My Drill for putting together my display shelves, bubble wrap, a few random size cardboard boxes if someone wants something packed and boxed really well. I bring a cooler bag full of snacks and coffee, a hammer and stakes to anchor my tent, bed risers to make my tables taller so 2 rubber maid totes can stack under the table. Museum wax to stick the pieces down if its a windy day. My main advice for people starting to do craft shows is to do shows that have more people going to them. My set up is the same if 5,000 people come see the show or if 50,000 people come to see the show more people means more $$$ more $$$ means more making!!

Thanks for the inside info. Question, what method do you use to derive your sales price. I don't want to be too expensive, but not to sell myself short either. My prices now just cover materials to cover my "hobby", but would like to expand to invest in more tools.

As a professional cabinetmaker I'm interested to see your hourly rate. So I did some math and estimated your hours for each project as low as possible to be fair. 10 laser cut journals 4hrs 2 note pads 1hr 4 clipboards 5hrs 11 pencil holders 6hrs 1 beer tote 4hrs 7 Ohio/Michigan 4hrs 7 wine holders 5hrs Random cutting board 6hrs Ramiken cuttimg board 5hrs 1 record holder 7hrs Craft show time to sell, setup and pack up 8hrs Totals 55hrs $1200-$200material=$1000 divide that by 55hrs =$18hr not to shabby!

Great list David. One thing you could add to the list is lights. If it's a night show there are battery operated LED lights you can get to put in your booth. I saw you were in an indoor event, my wife and I were doing the art shows that were held outside and we had to have a tent but to be accepted to these shows most required booth shots so like you said take pictures of your set up so you can apply to more shows if you like doing them. Great advice though.

David, this is great advice for anyone considering selling at craft fairs. The wife and I tried outdoor, "market days" type events in the Texas Hill Country for about 2 years with poor results (I'm a custom cabinetmaker by trade, and she is very talented at a number of crafts). We got a lot of compliments on our merchandise, but sales seldom covered the costs. The small wood items were mid-range ($50 and up) so we may have had too high an entry price point, who knows. A number of the other vendors typically had poor sales, too. Seems like a lot of folks came out for fresh air and to walk their dogs, but seldom bought anything. The food vendors always seemed to make out like bandits, though! Two other points I would mention: event insurance, and a platform cart to get your goods and equipment between the site and your car or truck. There are a number of web-based companies that sell short-term liability coverage for this purpose. Our premium was about $40 for a 2 or 3 day show -- small price to pay for peace of mind in case someone twists their ankle in your booth and wants to sue for your kids' inheritance! And a sturdy hand truck or platform dolly will help minimize trips and save your back when setting up or tearing down.

I really appreciate you doing this, and being so open about what you charge and how much you made. When I did my fist craft show I was completely lost as to how I was doing comparably. And the checklist is a great resource for someone getting into craft shows. I brought a lot of those items that made life easier, but I did not bring weights and things to hold down canopies. Lesson learned.

Another great video with really good advice. Always good to make sure you have what is needed. Congrats on a good show. My wife and I have now being doing shows for 5 years.Some good and some bad, but we enjoy it in the end. We have found that everyone of them is just a little different in what the crowd wants. The one thing that always seems to help us is the diversity of the products we carry. You have a good smattering of items in all different price ranges and that certainly helps. I would encourage anyone that is planning to do a show to have a selection of items and not just focus on one sole item with one price point.. CtL

I'm way late to the comment show on this video, but just watched it. You should make he stool to sit on and sell those too, they can see it in action. Do a nice laser etch of "Make Something" in the seat or back rest, put the seat on a swivel base with a locking mechanism. Make it the barstool height with multiple foot rungs to change positioning while sitting, but on the back side, make the rungs overbuilt so it can double as a step ladder if you need to hang a banner or something; the swivel-lock seat is so you can use the back rest for support while climbing the ladder.. sunday morning musings. :D

David, making money doing something you enjoy is always a good thing. I would probably call the money after expenses income rather than profit. You have to pay yourself for your time. This video is filled with a bunch of great tips for the people who do craft shows. I have helped my MIL who does a bunch, and occasionally will put a few of my projects out for display. I had to stop though. I couldn't keep up with the orders. If, I was doing it full time, I'd be all over these shows. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. Great info. Thanks. I'm sharing this on the ManCrafting FB.

get yourself a deep cell battery and a wave inverter. They take little space. You can power powerful led shop lights and even a radio for ambiance : ) With a wave inverter you can even make coffee in your booth. It will power a desktop for about 3 hours, otherwise It will last for the entire show, stress free. They typically have both electrical outlets and usb chargers. For a 200 dollar investment it's well worth it.

We do four craft sales per year. We feel that half our cost is making things and the other half is selling them, there are other costs you didn't mention like the cost to build your booth. The set up time and like you had at the sale, the labor of two people at the sale are labor costs into your product. We also sometimes have to account for travel costs as well. So if you sell through craft sales, you better like to do them like we do. I get very few orders from giving out cards, I started having people text me while we were at the sale. This started the conversation for the order process t

I do one show a year, no custom orders. That would then become a job. I made new friends and new ideas and some extra for my charities and I enjoy it.. A win-win. Not everyone gets it.

two points. I want to state, If you are going out of town (I realize you stay local) But if one is to go beyond 25 miles I would suggest giving the vehicle you plan on transporting to the show a check of fluids and tire pressure. IF you are less than 500 miles away from a oil change... Get the oil changed and have the service people do all the checks needed. IF you use a trailer have them check the wheel bearings... if it has been a few hundred to couple thousand miles get them repacked. Tires, make sure they are up to pressure and don't looked dry rotted, replace them if they do. A tire on a trailer going flat can cause much more serious of an accident vs the tire on the car. Trust me, spending $100-$400 at the mechanic's may cut into your profit.. but you ain't gunna make money sitting along side the road with a broken car. Speaking of profit, for your situation using scrap and found/gifted wood. calculate a minimum of 20% just of replace the wood used.

I made 10 cutting boards and priced them what I considered cheap about 4 years ago. I've sold 3 and gave away 3 as gifts. Still hauling 4 of them around. We are doing 20ish shows a year and a couple county fairs. If you sold 2 cutting boards at $200 each you better go buy a lottery ticket. Slimline pens priced in the $15 range are my bread and butter money makers. Cost about $3 to make, less if you use scrap for the wood blanks. Make one in under 15 minutes. Primitive wood decor is dead and birdhouses are a waste of material and both space. Still move a few potato bins and jelly cabinets but it takes a special person to buy one. Rocking horses in the sub $75 range sell themselves. But not alot of profit margin there. My pattern requires a 1x12x10 per horse and about 2 hours to cut and assemble then another hour to paint the details. Etsy is a goldmine if you find the right product. Posted a listing Sunday night and worked 14 hours yesterday filling orders. Simple product takes about 5 minutes to cut out and 30 seconds to stain

Profit can be increased with stairstep pricing. Good, better, best version of the same or similar times. Ideally, there should be little additional expense in making the more expensive items. This can sometimes be achieved by making the base (Good) item less fancy rather than just upgrading better or best versions (airlines do this). If nothing else, make a best or premium version. There will always be people that want the perceived "best" of something (and they are willing to pay). Anyway.. just some ideas.

Yo Brother - This is soooo helpful, thank you so much for being transparent, open and honest. regarding stolen items- yes its a loss of money but on the flip side - Someone wanted it soooo bad the took it. That's how i look it.
