Have a Garden Party to kick off your business
If its nice weather where you live, and you love to garden and also love to make garden crafts, then why not try having a garden party to kick off your craft business?
If you are proud of your garden, then you probably have it all nicely weeded!.. and edged. Make sure the lawn is cut, and everything that is not for sale, is put away, such as the kids toys and the lawnmower!
If you can swing it, why not get one of those shade tents for your refreshment table and to get out of the sun, plus you can display other arts and crafts under this shade tent or dining tent. Make sure the mesh sides are pulled back, and make it look inviting. You could have paintings displayed here on easels you could have some hanging creations from the roof of the tent, or a simple shelf unit for displaying other crafts.

In your garden, why not display your other garden crafts, such as wind chimes, candles, stakes, welcome stakes, patio stones, planters, bird feeders, .. all those outdoor creations you have been making. These types of projects show off best when in the elements they were designed for... your garden! People can now vision them in their own yard and are more likely to purchase!..

Spread them around the garden with price tags on, make them easy for the guest to find and look at, and hopefully purchase. Make sure to offer refreshments and then tell them to take a stroll around your garden, when people are relaxed, they are more likely to appreciate your art and creations, and hopefully you will make a sale!
Do your homework ahead of time, send out invitations if you want to limit the size of your garden party or have a garden open house and place signs on the road, and ads in the local paper, also make a rain date just in case.
Think of it as a craft show in your own backyard. You could also include other crafters, if you would like more variety. Make sure to have business cards and order books handy, and keep the refreshments fresh, things can go stale quickly outside. You dont want to be remembered for your stale cookies!
