This is our first year doing a craft show. Here's an idea of what we have planned:
Our crafters are in the cafeteria and gymnasium. I've limited the number of direct sales reps I'm allowing so the crafters don't get upset (you'd be surprised how finicky these people can be!). I didn't want to mess with % so we are charging a flat $40 per table. I listed on
www.craftlister.com
and have recieved about 20 vendors in three weeks time.
Our holiday shop will be set up in the media center, so the kids can shop for thier families.
We are selling hotdogs, chips, sodas, and pizza out of the cafeteria's kitchen.
We are having families donate baked goods for a table as well which I think will do well as its just before Christmas.
Im very lucky to have a Father-in-law who happens to be Santa, so the kids will have photos with Santa for $3 (all profit and half the cost of the mall).
The response has been great, and I just started this project a month ago. We are using some of the money to benfit the Art class, which the craft vendors loved.
Hope this helps!
