Spring is in bloom and craft fairs and markets are back in business like they never left! If you are a crafter or small business looking to break into the market/craft fair scene - this is the episode for you. This week on the Small Owned Business (S.O.B.) Marketing podcast, Vivian and I are talking about our basic blueprint for participating in markets and craft fairs. We list 5 simple steps to keep in mind when deciding and setting up for your events, so that you can be a successful S.O.B.!    Vivian and I have participated in a LOT of events over the years, and we’ve made a bunch of mistakes. We don’t want small business owners to make the same mistakes, so we created the Rock Your Fair course. It is a comprehensive guide on craft fairs, markets, and event marketing. We discuss everything from how to PICK the right event or market, to how to build an engaging table display.
