Organizing Quick Tip



Valerie's Booth Setup

Yesterday Valerie had a post about the show I assisted her with over the weekend.  Today I want to share with you a  few tips that helped Valerie streamline everything she needed for a successful show.

1) Prior to the show, set up your both at home. This way you will know exactly what to take with you and not over pack. It will also prevent making last minute decisions about set up and insuring you are fully prepared.

2) Take a picture of your set up so you can refer to it while setting up.  We took pictues with the phone so we had access to the photo easily.

3) For packing, use zip bags and small boxes to store like items. For example, Valerie has a shoe box size plastic box for her "office". The office box contains extra pens, receipt book, calculator, jewelry repair kit, business cards, stapler, tape, push pins, scissors, and baggies for purchased items.

Planning and preparing before the show will make the day of the show less stressful.

A big thank you to my sister Pam for all her helpful tips.  This was the first show that all I had were my tables and one box of supplies.  Being prepared was a big part to the success of the show.

Any other tips, that have made your craft shows successful?
