Vendors to My Show
There are several ways to advertise your art and craft event to vendors. Find the most effective ways and stick with them. Test and record results of your advertising to know what was most effective.
The best advertising reaches your target audience.

Advertising Art Festivals is Everybody’s Business
I struggled as craft show promoter figuring out the perfect mix of advertising for shows. Nothing is guaranteed with cable TV, internet, and satellite radio advertising has become more difficult. My advice to vendors and art festival promoters alike is this:
Advertising craft shows is everybody’s business.
Artists and crafters remember the more advertising promoters do, the more festival booths cost.

"Facebook Like"
Exchanges on LinkedIn
Leslie shared this tip on LinkedIn for "Facebook Like Exchanges" that are common in Art and Craft Groups. It's funny I had done this all over the internet and hadn't used it on Facebook.

Facebook Page Helps Your Art or Craft
Business Know Who Your Customers Are
Have you ever wondered exactly who your craft show customers are? Who to target in your advertising? How to find out if your target market is male or female, what age they are, or where they are located? Ever wondered who was most likely to walk into your craft show booth?
Your art and craft based Facebook business page can help.
First of all if you don't have a Facebook business page I suggest getting one.

Difference Between Creating Interest in Your Arts and Crafts
and Getting People To Buy Your Crafts
To have a successful full time business selling arts and crafts (defined as making enough income to support yourself or your family without having a part time job) two things must happen.
- There must be enough people interested in buying your arts and crafts.
- You must be able to persuade people interested in your art to buy.

Ways to Use Facebook
to Sell More Arts and Crafts
Facebook is a great place to drive art and craft sales when your posts are providing value to the reader, but will harm your reputation done incorrectly.
Being a professional artist or crafter is having an idea, talent, and skill and developing that into a business. It's learning proper ways of marketing those skills and when done properly any business can succeed to some degree of success.

Recently I signed up to do business with a big company and have had nothing but a terrible experience. They have however helped me to realize what good customer service is and what it is not.
Good service is delivering what was promised, on time. It is realizing that as a business person it is your job to deliver value for your customers dollars.

I have an account on Twitter with 800 followers mostly artists and crafters. Each of them has several to several thousand followers mostly people who buy the arts and crafts they produce.
What does this mean for your Fair, Festival or Craft Show?
If you are not on Twitter you are missing a huge opportunity to build a loyal following of artists and crafters who are potential vendors for your shows as well as missing the potential customers that buy those crafters products.
What is Twitter? It is a place people get together and share bite size bits of information about themselves, their business, and things they find interesting.

Press releases are informational articles sent to the press. They are meant to inform the public of things happening in the area. They are free and will be printed in most publications as space allows (so send them early and often).
Press releases are a great way to advertise your art festival schedule and your craft product. A

Use LinkedIn to Build Your
Art or Craft Show Business
LinkedIn connected me with many professional artists and crafters.
I love when artists ask questions I never thought to ask, I learn from the answers they receive. It’s a great place to learn from those who are successfully selling their arts and crafts.
I checked out LinkedIn this morning and came across this article on using this professional networking tool effectively.
