How to set up for an Art/Craft Show- Checklist

How to set up for an Art/Craft Show- Checklist
by Victoria Case


 


 


There's nothing worse than setting up a great booth, and right before show time, realize there's something you have forgotten. So, I created a checklist for myself which I recommend for anyone planning to attend an event. Of course, depending upon what you sell, yours will have other items to add.


My list begins with money and promotion(after all, that's what it's all about). I usually bring $100 worth of bills/change in a small box or "fanny pack". And the following items:



  • receipt book

  • business cards (don't forget to advertise your website!)

  • large sign with name and/or logo

  • easel for large sign

  • two lined paper pads for writing orders, names, phone numbers

  • several pens

  • calculator

  • bags for items sold (with a business card inside each one)


Next is my display(some items are adjusted for indoor or outdoor shows)



  • 10 x 10 tent (I recommend a white tent)

  • buckets with sand for weight

  • pre-formed concrete filled buckets for tent poles (especially useful when setting up on asphalt)

  • safety pins (for anything)

  • large white sheet/material for sun protection pinned to tent back wall or sidewall (if needed)

  • display tables

  • material to cover display tables

  • small broom/dust pan

  • several garbage bags

  • Windex and other cleaners (jewelry, wood, etc.)

  • card racks or picture holders (mannequins, boxes, items used to hold your crafts for sale)

  • display signs with item categories and prices

  • tape (for anything)
