9 Creative Ways to Display Your Pricing at Craft Fairs

I don’t know about you, but I get frustrated when I browse a booth at a craft show (or anywhere), find an item I like and then search endlessly for a price tag. As a customer, I’d like to pick up an item and immediately know the price without having to wait in line to ask the seller how much it is.

It’s a minor detail, but if overlooked, you may miss out on sales. A clear and accurate display of pricing is a key element in determining the success and profitability of your craft booth and a unique display can actually help draw people in.

“All of our items are individually priced on the back. However, that doesn’t stop customers from asking how much things are. Constantly. We designed a single poster listing of all our items with pricing, framed it and displayed it on a decorative easel at the entrance of our booth. Now customers can easily see the range of prices and products we offer, all in one place,” explains Kristen and Lindsey Archer, who successfully sell their handmade wood art and home decor online and at craft shows.

“We designed the pricing sheets in Adobe Illustrator with our brand colors, printed them on cardstock at a FedEx Office. Then we stuck it in a white frame we got on clearance at T.J. Maxx.”

Price tags or signs can do more than just state an item’s value. They are a crucial part of your booth display and can help to showcase your creativity and attract buyers.
