How you mentally approach those shows can determine whether a show is a success or a flop for you as a business person. For many years I did the craft show circuit and I would like to share my experiences in this posting. Hopefully you will find a few ideas that you can use to make your business grow.</p><p style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(33, 37, 41); color: #212529; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 13.680000305175781px; margin: 0px 0px 1.6em; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Any business strategy or marketing website will tell you that first and foremost you need to create a Business Plan, but what does that really mean for the art and craft show artisan who does wood carving or pyrography?</p><p style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(33, 37, 41); color: #212529; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 13.680000305175781px; margin: 0px 0px 1.6em; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Who, What, Where, When, and Why! These are the five basic questions you need to answer for any business planning. Let’s take a few minutes today and look specifically at what a business plan for selling shows might include as we answer a few of those basic questions. I know that you have already gone through these questions with the standard business approach, but let’s look at them again with a little twist in your perspective. Let’s look at the Who, What, and Why from your customer’s point of view.</p><p style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;
