# Craft fair display ideas.

A good craft fair display draws people in from the aisle, shows your best work at eye level, uses height so the table is not flat, prices every item clearly and keeps the layout open so shoppers can step in. Test the setup at home first and keep it easy to restock.

## Make the booth easy to enter.

Shoppers decide in seconds whether to walk in. A tidy front with a clear focal point beats a table crammed to the edges. Leave space to step in, and keep tall items at the back or sides so people can see over the display.

- Put your strongest piece or a small set of best sellers at eye level, near the front corner.
- Use an L or U shape if your space allows, so shoppers can browse without blocking the aisle.
- Keep the area behind you for stock and packing, out of sight.

## Build levels.

A flat table is hard to read. Use risers, crates, shelves, stands or boxes under a cloth so items sit at different heights. Group items by theme or color, and leave breathing room between groups.

- Hang or prop up items that need to be seen from the front, such as prints and signs.
- Use a mirror for jewelry and accessories.
- Secure everything for wind if you are outdoors.

## Sign, price and light it.

A banner with your name and what you make tells people who you are from a distance. Price every item or group, because shoppers walk away rather than ask. Add light if the venue is dim, using battery or clip lights if power is not provided.

- Make signs large enough to read from the aisle and consistent with your brand.
- Show your payment options and a way to follow you, like a social handle or a QR code to your page.
- Bring business cards or a small flyer with your link.

## Test it, then keep it fresh.

Set the booth up at home in the same footprint as your event space before the first show. Time it. Take photos of the setup that worked so you can rebuild it quickly. During the event, refill gaps so the display never looks picked over.

## Point shoppers beyond the table.

A good display ends when the shopper walks away. A storefront link on your sign or card gives them somewhere to find you afterward.

- Share one storefront page with your packages, products and photos, and put the link or QR code on your booth sign.
