Congratulations! You have taken the first big step in becoming part of your local county’s selling force! It is a big challenge, let me tell you beforehand, but the rewards for taking this endeavor is both conducive for your mind and for your soul. There will be frustrations, but there will also be rewards for the experience that you will go through. But you need to plan your actions first.

First, try and talk to your local festival supervisor regarding the prices and the stuff you’ll need to set up shop and to set up camp in a space in the fair grounds. A lot of conflicts and misunderstanding usually happens during these times so pay attention and listen up when things are being explained.

Enter the table. The tables will be utilized to their maximum so it has got to be worth your money. The average size for a table if you will be selling small items is usually a dimension of six feet in length.

Once you have your table dimensions, its time to think of ways to spruce up that little bit of space and give it an illusion that it is big, vast and holds a treasure trove of goodies waiting for owners to buy them. Be recklessly creative at first and then slowly remove all unnecessary items and refine the design into something both aesthetic and pleasing to the mind. Relish the role of the creator. Which means that although you can create anything you like, limit yourself as well.

Plastic boxes and small wooden crates can be used to bring up items that usually would miss the eye of a customer. Having these non-conventional items in could direct your customer’s attention more to the product than on the table. Height also gives illusion, so make sure to stack things in your table, in differing heights.
