Summer Sales

Summertime is often a good time for craft sales. People are travelling and want momentos of a pleasant visit. This year more and more people are taking advantage of stay-vacations. They are staying at home or close to home and exploring and discovering their local surroundings. This is a great chance for artists and craft producers to get local people more familiar with their items. Sometimes in the busy hustle of everyday life we don't take the time to seek our the beauty that is all around us...but on a stay vacation what a great opportunity to explore and discover what we normally don't have time for.

This year may be the time for artists and craft producers to find a local venue, a kiosk or a table in the local mall, or a display on the walls of a local restaurant. Look at all the alternatives that are available and chose the one or two that will showcase your work to the local tourist.

Make sure you get a listing of names for your newsletter...always a great way to stay in touch. Always ask permission before placing an individual on your mailing list. In some areas it is illegal to send unsolicited mail or emails to an individual.
