If there is any way to find out who else will be there that would be helpful too. If there are a lot of vendors selling potholders or burp cloths for example you will have a lot of competition and have to price accordingly and if you are not in an ideal location buyers will have already purchased potholders etc. before they get to you. Having something unique or being the only one or one of few with like products will really help.
Knowing who will be there will help with your pricing as well. If you are going to be surrounded by a lot of high end products (hand turned wooden bowls, metal sculptures, fine art etc) you can price things higher than if you are surrounded by more crafty items.
Quantity discount pricing can also boost sales such as $2 each or 3 for $5.
How you display your items will be key to getting people's attention. If you have Christmas ornaments try to have them on a small tree, have things at different levels. Try not to just have things on a table.
Other suggestions given here are good to follow.
Appreciate all the great advice, the things that don't sell I will gift at Christmas or donate to a local charity fundraiser. a win win. You got some great ideas and advice that will be very helpful. Thank you.
