[craftlink]

Thank you for your enquiry. The Art of Selling Your Craft is a 40 page glossy booklet (A5).

It has been designed specifically at the cover price of just £3.95 to appeal to exhibitors with a set buget for research. Starting out in craft is very expensive with booking fees and a large out lay for stock etc and we wanted to make the book consise, affordable and practical for just this reason. In this case, size and price really does matter!

It is also offered at a wholesale price of just £2.25 and many of our customers are organisers who then sell the book on through shows to visitors and exhibitors.

Thank you for your interest.

Dear Gelinda,
Thank you for your email. There are certain useful numbers/contacts that pertain to the UK, but I beleive that 95% of the book would be of use to anyone interested in selling craft. The principles of successful selling remain the same no matter where you are based!
