Selling Art and Crafts at Art Festivals,
Arts and Craft Shows,
Craft Fairs and Festivals
and Arts and Craft Fairs Online?


Know how to sell art and crafts at craft shows,
crafts to make, show displays, or how to sell art online?


Today while working on my site I came across this information that will help artists and crafters be more aware of tactics thieves use when stealing our one of a kind works of art.

Some tips to help keep your art fair or craft show booth secure:
  1. Be aware of what's going on around you.
  2. An open safe is as good as no safe at all.
  3. Have someone you trust with you in your booth at all times.
  4. Have two adults make bank deposits during the show. Have them carry pepper spray.
  5. It's better to give them the merchandise or money than to be killed if someone threatens to harm you. Give them what they want and call the police when they are gone.
  6. Don't leave large amounts of money where it's visible.
  7. Showing alone. Ask a vendor nearby to watch your booth while you unpack, pack and eat etc. Offer them a small piece of merchandise and to watch their items when they need.
