The guide has been positively recommended by almost every major craft publication. See quotes that follow. BASIC GUIDE TO SELLING ARTS & CRAFTS was chosen as the official text of the American Professional Crafters Guild. "
Filled with a great deal of practical information, this little guide can
teach you all the ins and outs of selling your arts and crafts. The Basic
Guide shows you how to find buyers; price your work; succeed at craft
shows; sell to stores, galleries, trade shows, and corporations; build a
mail-order business; deal with basic business and financial considerations;
and use promotional materials. It even tells you what to do if you've
followed all this good advice and your work still isn't selling. The
appendices list names and addresses of organizations, buyers' directories,
craft-fair guides, display suppliers, and more. Venues that are not often
covered in other books on the subject are explored here, such as selling at
home parties or to interior designers, teaching crafts workshops, or opening
your own crafts gallery.

Crafting as a Business
by: Rosen, Wendy
Quality Paperback
|
Author Wendy Rosen, the publisher of American Style magazine,
sees Crafting As a Business as a "network of mentors." Packed
with sidebars that feature invaluable tips from a variety of successful
crafters, this guide offers dozens of terrific worksheets and checklists
and a plethora of sound advice. The 70-plus pages of crafts resources at
the end of the book list names and addresses of educational
opportunities, suppliers, shows and fairs, and much more. Better
designed than many of the text-heavy books on this subject, Crafting
As a Business is perhaps the most thorough and easily digested guide
on this wide-ranging topic. --This text refers to an out of print or
unavailable edition of this title.
