I have a big show this weekend and my booth got a total revamp after my last show 2 weeks ago. I am still new at the craft shows so it is a bit trial and error. At the few shows I had 3 tables set up but it reduced the foot traffic space in my booth. At times there were so many people trying to see items that we had some traffic jams and people had to return later when it cleared out. So I decided to give my booth a remodel and build some walls. I am now able to get a lot of the merchandise up off of the tables and display them on the walls (eliminating a table) and increased my traffic pattern in my booth. Plus the tables that I do have set up are much more accessable now! I will have lots of new handmade creations along with everyones favorites. I hope everyone that is in the area will stop by and say HI! I was able to meet some of you at my last show which was wonderful!
