We super excited about the Renegade Craft Fair in Austin, TX next weekend that our company Make Shop Live will be in attendance. For us, it is big and exciting because it is our first trip out for a craft fair. Are there team members in Austin that are showing??? Please if you live in the area come out and say hi!
I am not sure what some of your summer plans may include, but I would kill to hear the inner workings of any and all craft/ independent design shows. Seriously, I want to hear the wide spectrum of "happenings" of anything from celebrity sightings to artists in competition feeling ripped-off. Come on- there is something. A customer gave you the most wonderfully stated compliment ever... this stuff is fantastic!
We have been regrouping from Unique LA which all ways keeps us busy! And has us full of ideas to include for next weekend.
Check out the show here or our post at http://makeshoplive.blogspot.com/2011/05/unique-la-highlights-and-pictures.html.
Our new cards really emphasize the SCAD+Etsy=Love Team, and we have geared more marketing towards Etsy in hopes that it brings customers into our Etsy shop & hopefully Everyone else too ;)
I have been behind on the blog posts for the team :( But I have kinda been searching for something I felt passionate about writing. I was hoping to do a wrap up of so show info/ marketing trends I see here and I think it would be really great if it could be so much more...
Now that we are getting bigger as a team, I am sure a ton of you all are out dealing with all types of sales and I want to know what everyone is up to??? Any tips you figured out? Did you nail a display that is so awesome you will burst at the seams to share with everyone??? I want to know, and I am sure so does everyone else! We are all up to amazing things these days I think we should have a call for entries. What ever you you have that you think can relate to this topic: please shoot an e-mail with details HERE by June 13th.
Maybe a campaign can be assessed for creating a bigger buzz for the team too- Just a pre-holidays thought... I know it seems soon but I am starting early!
Hope everyone is doing well and making some amazing things- and $$ too ;)
XO,
KC
