WIP Wednesday - Preparing for the Art Market

Well, this week feels as though it has been at least five days already! As you know, one of my Six Month Goals was to attend my first craft fair and I was accepted to have my papercuts at The Art Market on November 13th.

Now...as this is my first craft fair, everything is new to me. From making up enough stock to take (what is enough?!) down to how to get a display layout sorted for my stand (it's on the to-do list!) so I thought it might make interesting reading for those readers who have never attended a craft fair yet either.

The Art Market I will be attending is on the 13th of November, so I thought from now until then I would dedicate my weekly work in progress posts to my preparation for the market! I will discuss everything I need to do to prepare, including all the mundane bits, like how much money I should take for a float, what promotional pieces I should take, what I should do about receipts, getting public liability insurance and the more fun things, like what I will be selling at the fair and how my stand will look.

If you are someone who has attended a craft fair before and you have any tips or links to how to prepare for a craft fair I would love it if you could leave them in the comments below. If you have a lot of tips, I would be very interested in you guest posting on the Mr Yen blog to share your knowledge with us all!

I hope to see you back here for tomorrows Thursday Finds post!
