Welcome to Part 2 of my tour through the Renegade Craft Fair. As I noted in Part 1, my comments on each of the booths is fairly critical because I'm using this as a learning experience. I have nothing but respect for people who put their work out there for the world to judge.
Back to the booths...
Lady Alamo made good use of their booth space and did a wonderful job displaying their bags. I also like the name of their company posted on the table skirts instead of the banners. However, if someone were to stand in front of the table, you wouldn't see the signs--something to think about.
Even though The Bocket Store was a pottery booth, they made good use of a quilted banner.
I loved the Monstertracity booth set-up idea, although the execution was pretty rough. Anyone taller than 5' 7" (as I am) had to bend over to communicate with the lady running the booth. And she could see only one or two people at a time through the little window. Cute, but not a very efficient layout.
I think Horse and Anchor was a shared booth, but it was so cluttered I didn't bother to find out. Also, the tent felt claustrophobic with the event already being held inside.
I feel like people will wade through clutter if there's a deal to be had, but if you're charging art fair prices for screen-printed t-shirts, it's just not worth the headache.
Made By Michelle Brusegaard figured out a good setup. It wasn't fancy, but they successfully displayed samples of their wares on lines around the table and kept all the stock folded up on the tables.
And finally, Petit Collage had the great idea of creating an attention-getter for kids. A little stand-up photo opp that the little ones can stick their faces through. And now parents have the Petit Collage name on that cute photo they post on Facebook.
Of course, these were a fraction of the booths at the Renegade Craft Fair, but they were the ones I learned the most from.
In Part 3, I'll post the pictures of the booths I just though were pretty.
