When we love what we are doing we start to think if creating a business from our hobby will be beneficial. A business or work is more fun and profitable when we enjoy and love what we are doing.
It is easier to decide that we can profit from our hobbies when we know that we already love what we are doing. Our next questions that will need to be addressed are how much will it cost? Where do I apply for the booths? When is the deadline? These are just some of the questions.
In starting a small business it is usually advisable to spend less. So the first thing is to search of local craft fairs or craft shows in your area. Less gas and time will be spent if it is just an area near you.
Once you get the schedule of craft shows and fair in you area, it would be good to distribute your goods to different location or show. Having different locations will hit more customers than just one show.
Knowing that spending less when you are starting a business will help you create a budget that you can work around. Fit your booth rent, application fees, gas and other expenses within the budget that you have set. Less cost in the beginning will make it easier to break even in the end.
Keep in mind that keeping a uniform price from one location or show is also good. When you give different prices in different locations this will show that you are not trust worthy and some times the customer will think that you are not the one making the product.
In starting any business it is always to gather as much information as you can. Getting all the information you need will help you do better with your business. Information not only confined financially but also how and who your potentially customer will be.
