Sell Craft Kits in Addition to Your Crafts

Sell Craft Kits

 If you have a home craft business, and you are finding sales a bit low this year.  Then before you change out your line of crafts, why not consider adding craft kits?  With the economy the way it is, many people are still going to craft shows, but are not spending the money.  There are way more "window shoppers" sometimes than there is customers.

So, what do you do?  Come up with a cheaper craft, that you always seem to sell, and take it apart piece by piece, and then document each step to make this craft, including pictures.  This may seem tedious, but once done you can take lots of copies.  Now include a finished picture and the supplies need to make the craft.

You need to decide on the price you are wanting to get for this craft kit.  Is it for kids? teens? can you create a craft kit for 5 dollars? 10 dollars?   You should also have a already completed one beside it, so that people can see the finished size and look.

Many people love to buy these for gifts, especially Christmas gifts.  So, these smaller, and lesser priced items could be your bread and butter in a craft show..

This is a great idea. A craft kit to do with kids for the holidays under $15.00 would sell well. Thanks for sharing.
