I already wrote an article, called "7 Things You Want To Know About Craft Shows" and now would like to add something, which helped me lower the stress factor.
I simply stopped taking the items listed online to the craft shows! When I first launched my DaWanda shop, I kept taking all my products to craft shows. However, it did not take long to realize that this approach was creating an absolute chaos after the show.
Trying to be clever, I marked the price tags of my DaWanda items, and put them in a separate bag to use only if they were needed. It made some difference, but once my husband started helping with the arrangement of the display, everything got mixed up.
The real shock came when I almost sold a one-of-a-kind item at a craft show, which was bought by a customer online at the same time. This lucky escape thought me a lesson.
Nowadays I keep my online and craft show products separately and just take it easy!

It's simple but very clever!
