Read what real people say . . .
“Since reading your books, I have implemented many of the ideas. I am now happy to report that I have had some surprising success at the “I just can’t believe its a flea market” here in Santa Fe. My hang cards, booth design, and even my products themselves have been changed by your books. I have only been there 5 partial days and have sold about 4 times what I sold in the equivalent time last year. I changed the color of the walls, the height of the tables, the displays, the hang cards, the pricing and more. So, IT WORKS!”
Julie Anderson, CostumeSalon.com
“I had a sporadic retail craft business with which I was feeling burnt out. After reading James Dillehay’s books, my business took on a new life. I changed my product slightly and the response was remarkable! My first order was triple what I had planned for, and other orders are pouring in! Because of the techniques I learned from him, my business is thriving.”
CATHY MARBLE, Chamisa Hill Designs

NANCY COOKE, author The Art of the Tile, ww.ArtoftheTile.com

“James was a guest speaker on our Guerrilla Marketing conference call and he blew me away with what he knows about selling on the Internet.”

“An astonishing amount of usable information, crammed into so few pages! James Dillehay has an amazing talent for getting right to the point, with a minimum of “geekese.” Of the entire list of computer instructional manuals I have read, this one would top the list. I would not hesitate to recommend it . . . even to my mom.”
LAPIDARY JOURNAL
“I survived my very first craft show last weekend, a tiny production in a rural fire hall, where all the vendors knew or were related to all the customers. Out-of-towners on either side of me sold nothing, but I sold 12 times my booth fee, partly because my stuff is good, but partly because I really researched presentation in James Dillehay’s books.” ~ Joann Wheeler
