No matter where you sell or promote your items, you have one major goal: get people’s attention.
Finding unique ways to display your items (in person or in photos)Â is a great way to stand out from everyone else even in a crowded market (or social media platform). Here are 7 unique and fun ways to show off your products!
1. Clear Cubes
What a clever way to let natural light show off your products AND give people a 360° view! The larger ones may be a bit of a pain to haul to craft fairs and farmer’s markets, but the smaller cubes could work perfectly for soap, bath bombs, and other smaller items. Either way, it’s a great idea for classy photos! You could also get some great photos for social media with these.
Price:Â $22.19 for 3 cubes

2. Bucket Displays
We’ve talked about displaying items in “bulk” for a long time. When you show large quantities of something, it helps viewers perceive you as being an expert in your craft. Essentially, seeing items in bulk makes it “click” with the shoppers that you are a business and you have a lot of product to sell.
If you’re only getting photos for social media or your website, you don’t even need to create a wall of buckets (although, it’s pretty cool looking). You can simply get a close-up of one bucket that’s filled with items. Then, swap the products out and do it again.

3. Ornament Display
Obviously, this one only works with smaller items, but what a COOL way to show off your products during the holiday in a photo and that reminds people they can buy their gifts from you! These are exactly the kind of photos that Instagramers love to see.
Price range: $21 for 12 ornaments

4. Arm Displays
The picture is a bit dark, but you can see how this would be an awesome way to stage individual products for a photo shoot. You could even attach some of these arms to the setup that you use for your craft fairs! Since it’s so unique, your photos would likely do well on Instagram and Pinterest.

6. Ingredient Display
Not all your photos have to be of your products. In fact, they shouldn’t be. Showing people the types of ingredients or the types of supplies that you use makes a big different in building trust and interest! And this isn’t just for photos, either. You can easily take something like this to your farmer’s markets or keep it available at a storefront where your products are on display.
