Where can I sell my hand made jewelry in the San Jose area?

I've read that some people make jewelry and sell them at hair and nail salons or tannig salons. Perhaps you can make a nice display stand that can be put into various businesses. I'd check with locally-owned stores where you can talk personally to the owners. See if they will sell your jewelry in their stores, first. That will give you a feel for the business and help you make connections you will be able to use later.

Getting a booth at a fair or festival is a good idea also, but you have to put up some money initially. Another good idea might be to try to have a "jewelry party", kind of like a tupperware party, but with your jewelry instead. You can make up order forms and small catalogs too. Good luck!

How can you take advantage of arts and crafts exhibitions for building public relations?

To promote your work through an arts and crafts exhibition (as opposed to a sellers fair)you need to provide a way to distribute your contact information. At the very least, this could be a box containing your business cards, for the visitors to take. Business cards that are attached to a writing pad, calendar, or magnet backing are the most likely to be effective. If you also have a nice brochure that illustrates your work, with your contact information on it, they should be placed in a container that is easy for visitors to access. Be sure to check with the rules of the exhibit, as some do not allow handouts. If that is the case, you could incorporate your contact information into an item that you wish to enter into the display, such as attaching your web address or phone number to the edge of your exhibit, or a poster in the back. If there is an exhibit catalog, you should be sure to make use of the space they give you to place your contact information, or purchase space if necessary. Depending on the type of exhibit, you might want to set up a greeting area, where you can meet the visitors and distribute your contact information in person.

What supplies are needed to exhibit at art and craft events?

Setting Up at Craft ShowsDepends on your crafts. You want to make sure you give yourself ample room to show your wares. Avoid giving them only one level to look at, such as just two tables. Have a couple book cases or something behind you with wares on them. Gives you more of a panorama look and they will tend to look more closely. Just tables they will scan and walk on by, give them more to look at and you will improve your odds of them stopping, then you can give your sales pitch or answer questions. Make sure to skirt your tables, it is a more pleasing look. Decorate a bit so it doesn't look so blah. Try to show your wares in a theme. For instance, if you sell bird houses, have them hanging from small trees, even if the tree's are plastic, just gives off that homey feeling. answerSpaces vary, we have found that "most" are 10 by 10 indoors and somewhat larger out doors. Ease of load in load out is very important. Watch people carry heavy wooden cases, tubs etc. and you'll get the idea. Go to some shows and look at the displays. Some of the juried shows will not let you in with only tables. They want to see photos or slides of your display. Our display is built with PVC as a frame with foam core panels covered with cloth. Each piece is on casters so we are able to roll in. The display is is 8 peices and can be adjusted up to accomodate a corner spot. In the intrest of full disclosure, my wife designed and built it answer

Most of the craft shows I attend are outside, and therefore, my most cherished purchase was an easy to put up sun shade. I started out with one that had to be assembled, and it took me forever to set up.

The next most important thing is the wonderful plastic storage cartons you can now purchase. I use a standard moving cart to transport them. I usually pile the supply cartons up and place a table top across them. I stabilize them with bungee cords.

However, my merchandise is displayed by hanging strips of fabric from the bars of the sun shade, and attaching my work on the strips. The only thing I use the table for is my order catalogs.

Don't forget that most shows require the proper forms and paperwork, such as a seller's license, and tax re-sale number. Be sure to find out what all the rules are, since each show is different.

Can you sell a handmade birch bark canoe 4ft 5 in. made by westcoast Indians in Victoria British Columbia Canada. It was built in 1953 and pictures are available?

Certainly they are sellable. They may not be a profitable enterprise because ot the labor intensive nature of the endeavor. Almost anything that is handbuilt begins as a labor of love and devotion to the project sometimes quickly exceeds the value that the marketplace is willing to absorb. Check out the market before you invest the cost of materials and six months of production to create the product. But in this case, it seems he only has one, and it was made in the 1950s. It's definitely salable, but if you live in the Pacific Northwest you'd be best off trying to find an auction house that specializes in Native American handcrafts; that would give you the best price.
