3 Secrets to Increase Sales at Craft Fairs

Here are 3 secrets To increase sales and get seen and remembered at craft fairs!

Are you trying to think of a unique fun way to grab your customer’s attention as they walk from booth to booth?

Secret #1- Interaction.
First- this really isn’t a secret but it’s amazing how many people don’t interact at craft fairs. Put down your phone and interact with your customer. When I go to craft fairs, I want to see that the business I am potentially buying from cares enough to interact with me, even just a hello, are you enjoying the day.

Secret #2 – Invest in your customer, increase sales and create excitement around your business.

Have you ever noticed there is always more excitement and traffic in booths that give away products or run a raffle? EVERYONE loves free stuff! Everyone loves to win and feel like a winner.

Secret #3- How can you generate that kind of excitement so they’ll tell their friends, mention you on social media and create a relationship where they will learn to Know, Like and Trust you? Scratch off stickers. These fun stickers are more than just a sticker. They are a fun business tool, used to create fun scratch off cards.

It’s easy to create a Scratch off promotion that generates some excitement.

Running a free scratch off campaign will be something new that grabs your customer’s attention and makes them remember you. One of my favorite ways to run a scratch off promotion is to make sure everyone is a winner and there is a grand prize winner as well. When you print your business card and add a scratch off sticker over it, chances are they are going to keep the card, especially if you give them a fun reason to.

An example would be to offer Free Shipping in September with $40 order. Now you have qualified your offer so you’re not losing money and you have given your potential customer a reason to visit your website or store again in September. This is how you generate sales and keep your customer interested in your products.

As your customer gets to know you, they’ll trust you and move you into their “I want to hear from this business” box instead of the ugh, more spam. Once your customer gives their personal information to you, guard it and don’t abuse it.

As a small business, you may not be able to offer free shipping with every order. If you don’t want to give free stuff away all day, you could do a drawing to win a free gift certificate to be used on their first purchase or perhaps you want everyone to feel like a winner so you offer “consolation prizes” with every scratch off card.

Some additional fun ideas to use:

Sorry you are not a winner , but you did win a piece of candy.

Sorry you weren’t lucky this time, but you’re still a winner in our eyes.

Sorry try next time. Visit us at and list your website

Almost a winner, have some candy on us!

Some inexpensive prizes to give out:

Free sample of one of your products.

Candle companies can give out miniatures of their products.

Dollar tree carries fun packaging ideas for mini’s.
The idea is to introduce your future customers to your product. If they love the minis, they are sure to fall in love with your full size product and invest in you and your products. Remember the cost of your trade show, entry fees, product used and samples gives out as well as our scratch off cards are all tax deductible with your business expenses.

Scratch off cards are a great way to increase your business and generate repeat customers in your small establishment, both online and in brick and mortar stores. Scratch off cards are a cost effective promotion for small businesses to use at craft fairs and trade shows. Printing your own scratch off cards saves you money, rewards your customer and helps increase your sales. Customers love to scratch and win! Your customers are no exception!

Are you making these mistakes?

Is your business struggling to get customers in the door? Are you making these 3 mistakes while operating your small business? Do you want ideas on how to increase your ROI? I’ve seen businesses come and go in our small town. Lack of sales results in them closing before they really get going. Are they giving up too soon? These are some suggestions when looking to increase foot traffic into your establishment. You can adapt these to fit your stores needs.

Are you invisible? Make sure your business is visible and can be found easily. A sign from the local printer can be worth its weight in gold. You can choose from metal and wooden signs or even vinyl graphics applied to your store front. Make sure and add your phone number and website so it’s easy to contact you.

Consider putting balloons out for your grand opening. The bright colorful bouncing balloons will catch your customer’s eye.

Are you keeping the store hours you set? Business is slow so you decide to head home early or taken an extra hour for lunch. As soon as you leave because business is slow, a potential customer will shop up. That is Murphy’s law. You want to portray a consistent business that does what they say they will. If you find you need to cut hours, remember to change your store hours on your sign in the front window, so your potential customers know of the change and can hopefully make plans to visit you again.

Are you advertising where your customers are? Do you have a way to reach your customer to let them know about your next big sale? The key to advertising is reaching your customer. Narrow down your niche and who your customer is. Get to know them and advertise where they are. Create a newsletter with a giveaway each month and/or hand out scratch off cards to be redeemed on their next visit.

Give your customer a reason to return. Give them a free scratch off card to be used on their next visit with an expiration date. They can scratch it now to see what the win or you can do a no scratch campaign and have them scratch when they return. The no scratch campaign promotes the excitement that comes with scratching off to reveal what they have won.

To be a successful, it requires hard work, motivation and changing something if it’s not working. Listening to your customers and what they want is the key to keeping and maintaining a happy customer. Happy customers tell others. There is nothing better than word of mouth advertising.

Scratch off cards for business- the lock down

Missouri’s lock down has been lifted and life is getting back to a new normal. How are you marketing your business and reminding your customers you’re still around? How did your business fare during this time. The “essential” businesses had a rough time, how will the ‘non essential businesses” fare as we open up the country? Will scratch off cards for your business help you increase your sales?

If you’re looking to market your business and reward your customers, we offer scratch off cards to thank your customers for their business. Rewarding your customer is a great way for word of mouth to spread, excite your customer, give them a great experience and they will be back to support your business.

As times have been lean, you can use small incentives to reward your customers. A restaurant can be as simple as a free drink with your meal.
Your scratch off marketing campaign can be as simple as typing text into a circle on a set of business cards and covering it up with a scratch off sticker or as complex as custom scratch off cards, customized to your business with varying promotions, printed on a 16 point long lasting scratch off card.

Hair stylists can offer a free wash with a set or a small percentage off their next visit. Although around here, hair stylists were not considered “essential” so they are very busy now, six weeks from now that could change.

What changed for you during this lock down? I enjoyed the decrease in traffic, making u-turns on once busy streets but I also missed the people. Living in a city of 195,000 is a bit eery when you think of where did all the people go.

As the saying goes, we will all get through it, we are all in this together. The goal is to protect each other and make the best decision we can with what we have to work with. Marketing small businesses is an essential service to keep the United States of America moving forward.

Yes, all of our scratch off stickers are proudly Made in the USA
