Have pricing figured out for multiple purchases. If you have lap quilts for sale at $80 each (just grabbed a number out of my head) then if they buy two, make it $75 each.
Dress up your tables. Have nice tablecloths, and skirt the tables so that you can store boxes, etc. under them. Use an artificial Christmas tree to display ornaments or small items. Get lattice at the Home Depot to make a display "wall" for your booth.
MOST IMPORTANT!! Chat, laugh and HAVE FUN!! Craft fairs can be a blast!! :)
I have to agree with Charlee. Also, I had a friend help me with mine, but she didn't want to shut up! I tried getting her to talk to the people walking by, but she didn't get the hint. This year I am going by myself!
This is good advice - it is much easier for a potential buyer to approach a single person behind the booth than to break into a conversation between 2 or more. Remember to smile and say Hi to everyone - just to get them to stop and look at your stuff can be half the battle.
