The Psychology of Sales at a Craft Show

June 4, 2016 by Katie Smith Leave a Comment

Craft fairs can be exciting and daunting at the same time, especially if you’re a first-timer. The idea of displaying your handmade goods, chatting with potential customers, and making sales can be thrilling, but it can also be nerve-wracking to put yourself out there. That’s why it’s important to do your research and be prepared for what’s to come.

If you’re looking for some guidance and insights on how to make the most out of your craft fair experience, then Patrice Lewis’ article on the psychology of selling at a craft fair is a must-read. Lewis is a seasoned craft fair vendor who has learned through trial and error the art of selling at these events. Her article provides a wealth of information and advice that can help you make the most out of your craft fair experience.

The article delves into the importance of engaging with customers, creating a welcoming environment, and even the psychology of colors and how they can influence buyers. Lewis shares her tips and techniques on how to display your products effectively, how to talk to customers, and how to close a sale. She also addresses common challenges that vendors face, such as competition and pricing, and offers solutions to overcome them.

Here are some casual conversation starters you could use on your customers- 

“Hello! Have you ever tried crafting before? I’d love to hear about your favorite project or technique.”

“Wow, that necklace you’re wearing is beautiful! Do you enjoy making jewelry yourself?”

“Are you here looking for a gift or something special for yourself? I’m happy to help you find the perfect item.”

“Have you seen our latest collection? We just launched some new products that I think you might be interested in.”

“What’s your favorite type of craft to do? We have a great selection of supplies and kits for all sorts of projects.”
