Instructions
Leave Space for Customers
Always keep an open area at the front of your display.
Why? Because customers often want to:
Try on a necklace or bracelet
Pick up and examine a piece closely
Set down items they're carrying (purse, phone, beverage)
When shoppers feel comfortable, they're more likely to linger; and the longer they stay, the more likely they are to buy.

Less Is More
It's tempting to show off every necklace, bracelet, and pair of earrings you've made. But remember: craft fair shoppers are overwhelmed with visual choices.
Instead:
Keep your layout clean and uncluttered
Highlight fewer pieces so each one gets attention
Create a peaceful, eye-resting display that makes your jewelry stand out
A minimalist setup not only looks professional-it also encourages people to focus on your best work.

Engage With Shoppers
Your interaction can make or break a sale. Always:
Put away your phone or end a call quickly when customers approach
Politely excuse yourself from casual conversations to greet potential buyers
Smile and show genuine interest in anyone browsing your booth
Remember, people aren't just buying jewelry, they're buying from you. A warm, welcoming approach builds trust and connection.
