Craft Lab Panel Discussion: Preparing for an In-Person Marketplace with Cindy Liebel and Robin Kramer
This workshop occurred on Tuesday, February 13, 2024
In-person marketplaces are a great opportunity to connect with customers, market your work, and, of course, make sales. But how can you plan to get the most out of your time at a marketplace? We’ve brought together a panel of experienced artists and show producers to discuss the many different aspects of preparing and executing a successful in-person market. Through a facilitated conversation and questions from attendees, we will explore topics such as booth design, pre and post-marketing techniques, sales strategies, and more.
