624, RE: Craft Funding
Posted by nightsky, Mon Oct-13-08 06:44 AM
I have a very good friend who's wife used to do crafts. She didn't worry about setting up a store, but she made close to $100,000 a year. She would work her tail off and then take her crafts to craft shows. home shows and any other show that would bring customers to her. She did probably 4 or 5 shows a year and the rest of the time she was busy making her crafts.

The beauty of that way of doing business is that a show will cost you about what a month or two of rent would... but you have a lot of customers brought in and placed in front of you... and you don't have any other expenses that a storefront would have. No electricity and you don't have to be there every day.

Just a suggestion. You could even have other people do crafts for you that you can display at the show... and you can keep a cut of the sale price. You pay the booth, sell your products and other people's products, for which you keep a % for yourself.

Good luck...
