Those are great tips! i think i'm doing most everything right...

I did #5 without even knowing it was good for business...lol i bought a 4' tall pre lit pink Christmas tree for Hannah a few weeks ago. I though it would be cute to take it to my craft fair and put coordinating bows all over it. it was a hit!! So many people, stopped to take a closer look, or comment on it, and the little girls loved it!

I was thinking about doing this next year too! A lot of people had trees with lights on and it looked so pretty.

I think I did pretty good with the list. When I get more into it I want to have a banner with my name on it across the front of the table. I also thought about giving out free pens or something with my web addy on.

What a great list! I normally hand out magnetic business cards with a $20 purchase. I know I can always use more magnets for the fridge.

I agree with you. I guess they work to replace what they sold?

For me- I am a talker. It's impossible for me to craft at the craft show! I am talking from the time I get there till the time I go home.
