This book details the journey of a Michigan couple who sold hand-painted bird feeders at craft shows and art fairs for over 20 years. They developed a faithful following who bought from them regularly, as well as many spontaneous sales. Along the way, Pat and Connie Thompson sold well over 23,000 handmade bird feeders, as well as thousands of bat houses, squirrel feeders, snow gauges, walking sticks, and butterfly houses.
The Thompson's learned many tips and tricks to being successful at craft fairs and are passing along their wealth of knowledge here in these pages as they share their advice, crafter tips, personal success stories and anecdotes.
Whether you attend craft fairs, art shows and/or flea markets as a hobby, or use them for a full- or part-time income, you will definitely find common sense methods in this book to help make your small business more successful. FULL COLOR INTERIOR
