There are many ways to sell your crafts. Here is a list of possibilities:
1. Sell crafts on eBay.com and Etsy.com
2. Sell at craft fairs, county and state fairs
3. Approach gift stores that sell crafts like yours
4. Find a sales rep to represent your craft items to the gift trade
5. Set up a booth at a trade show for the giftware trade. (This could be costly.)
6. Sell crafts at home parties
7. Sell crafts at craft malls
8. License your crafts’ designs to large publishing companies
9. Put up a web site and focus on getting traffic from people searching for crafts you make to sell.
10. Sell crafts through mail order catalogs that carry handmade items like yours.
Each of the above methods is a craft business in itself. Pick the ideas that are least expensive to start with and test the marketplace. Keep track of your results so you’ll know where to sell to in the future. Home parties, craft fairs, Etsy.com and eBay.com may be your cheapest markets to enter.
