Did you hear the news … They finally caught me! I’m going to jail … but it’s for a great cause — MDA!
Shasta McLaughlin of Extravaganza Crafts has been asked to go to "LockUp" to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association on April 11, 2013.
Muscular dystrophy is a disease where the muscles of the body get weaker and weaker. The Muscular Dystrophy Association raises funds for research, medical treatments and therapy, wheelchairs, and for kids with muscular dystrophy to attend MDA Summer Camp.

Craft Fair Tips
by Wendy Hitchins of On-line Venue for Handmade Arts & Crafts, and Invention group on LinkedIn
I use a custom fitted black cloth that completely covers the table to the floor that I made. Then I cover that with a white organza cloth. I find the white really picks up the ambient light and makes it all easier to see.Art & Craft Business Tips, Art & Craft Show Booth Display, Art & Craft Vendor Hints and Tips, Art Show Vendors, Craft Show Vendors, Craft Trade Show Booth, Doing the Art Show Circuit, How to Make Art Shows Better, Improve Sales of Arts and Crafts, Jewelry Booth Displays, Table Display Ideas

How to Sell More Jewelry Directly from Your Blog
copyright by Rena Klingenberg
Your blog is an excellent tool for selling your jewelry online. In fact, many jewelry artists sell their work exclusively from their blogs.
You can stir up your readers' interest in your work by blogging about how your jewelry is created, what's unique about a particular piece or component, what the piece signifies to you, what happened while you were creating it, etc.

How to Sell More Jewelry with Volume Discounts
Customers love to feel like they’re getting a good deal, so offering some items at “volume discount pricing” can net you a lot of extra sales and repeat buyers.
For example, I have a big selection of very simple gemstone bead earrings with sterling silver earwires. I price them at $16 for 1 pair, $14 each for 3 pair, and $12 each for 5 pair. You’d be amazed at how many people automatically spend $60 buying 5 pair just because that’s the best price per pair.

Art of Turning Lookers into Buyers
at Craft Shows
Just as creating arts and crafts is an art, getting a looker to buyer at a show is an art. Encourage lookers to imagine themselves at home using or wearing your product.
Every person is bombarded with advertising/marketing materials for hundreds if not thousands of items every day. They may need or want handcrafted arts and crafts but don’t have time to sift through all the information they see to find the ones they need.

7 Common Disconnects In Retail Business

2. Lack of interest in customers:
It surprised me how often I could walk into and out of a store without having a single conversation with anyone. No one seemed interested that I was even there.

Jewelry Display Options
Handmade jewelry is one of the easiest arts to create and the hardest to sell. There is much competition among jewelry artists.
Buyers of jewelry are highly individualized-everyone buys handcrafted jewelry they like. Buyers prefer one type of jewelry over others.

Stand Out at Shows
How can you make your booth stand out at jewelry shows?
1. Specialize in something!
Artisans can specialize in:
* gold or silver jewelry
* vintage pieces
* bridal jewelry
* jewelry from natural gemstone, precious or semi-precious stones
* Western, outdoor, rugged, or nature jewelry
* Silverware jewelry
* Pieces inspired by any race or nationality
* Beaded jewelry
* remake antique jewelry
Your pieces can be inspired by a place such as all your pieces having the colors of the Grand Canyon or your favorite mountain scene.
