Selling your work at Juneau Arts/Craft Fairs 1. Figure out what you want to sell. Ask your friends/family/co-workers what they would buy if they didn't know you. 2. Make sure you have a range of prices for all size pocketbooks. Not every fair is held close to a payday or after dividends. Don't be discouraged if you don't sell a lot. Every fair is different. 3. If you can fit all you have for sale in three or less plastic bins you're doing good! Bins are great for Juneau. Once emptied they can double for part of your set-up if needed. 4. Set up your tables at home beforehand. Work at getting a balance so it doesn't seem cluttered. Height is also a good draw. 5. Remember. Juneau is DARK. If you can afford the extra for electricity at your booth/table - get it!
