Selling Your Art & Crafts {Renting vs. Consignment vs. Etsy Tutorial}

Today I will share some exciting news and some ideas for selling your art and crafts! I have talked a lot about my adventures in craft fairs but today I want to tell you about other options for selling your crafts such as renting space in a vendor mall (or antiques mall) or selling your work in a consignment shop. Etsy is another option for selling your artwork and crafts and I have mentioned before that I have not tried that but my friend Renae Christine of RichMomBusiness has a free webinar all about succeeding on Etsy called Why Your Etsy Shop is Failing, you can sign up here: richmombusiness.com/failingetsy In her Etsy tutorial she will teach you how to run a successful Etsy shop and increase views to your page and most importantly boost sales. Renae is the leader in teaching about etsy and she loves to help mom business succeed. I hope to see you there!

I have more experience in brick-and-mortar shops. I love to do craft fairs but lately I have not wanted to give up my weekends to vend at craft fairs and for the price of a good fair I can rent a similar sized space in an antiques mall for a month. I will explain what I will sell (my "cash cows") and how I will price it and whether or not you are better off consigning your work in a shop where you do not have to pay rent but the shop owner keeps a percentage of the sales or if it is better to rent a portion of a store so you have control of how your work is shown. Or if Etsy is a better choice. I mentioned other tutorials on packaging, displaying and selling art in today's video. You can find them all in my Art Marketing Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNxvOHHWCjFi6hBwY5N2…
Thanks for watching and happy crafting!
