Hi, I have been doing small/medium size shows now for 2 years.  I have finally been able to replace my initial tent and walls.  Now I am thinking about possibly trying some larger shows next year.…Continue

Definitely add the propanel desk-it's so functional and adds that extra touch of professionalism. I would recommend the taller of the two they sell-it makes it easier for check out-people don't like bending down when writing checks or…

Cassius Callender replied to Claudia & Sergio Olivos's discussion 'Alexandria Art Fair & Canopy/tent observations, questions to the forum.....& critiques..'
No problem at all Claudia.   Thanks! I just took that photo on Saturday at a small art fair in Sun Prairie, WI. But I will be getting the print bin and desk that Larry suggested. They will make a big difference.   When I first started I…

I have an 8' Trimline which you can see here.  I do my entire setup alone.  No issues at all.  But I would not say it is "easy" at the time to raise the canopy and install the legs.  Just something to think…

Don't know about the gallery covers but I'd get rid of the table and cover and unframed bin. Maybe get a Pro Panels desk and print bin. Also if you want to get into the better shows eliminate the greeting cards.Larry…

Booth...Suggestions?

Hi, I have been doing small/medium size shows now for 2 years.  I have finally been able to replace my initial tent and walls.  Now I am thinking about possibly trying some larger shows next year.  Anything you would do to improve this booth?  I am thinking about getting the ProGallery Panel Covers (waiting for the samples). …See More

Cassius Callender replied to Kevin Carlyle's discussion 'Weight, outside shows and security'
2.  50lbs of weight for each corner should be good.  That is what I have with my Trimline, which is pretty sturdy on its own.   3.  For me it depends on 1) weather, 2) location, 3) security being used.  I have been to shows…

Cassius Callender replied to marjorie bowers's discussion 'Taking credit cards at shows'
I just used Square for the first time at my last show.  It was a breez.  It also saves time with receipts since you can just send the customer the receipt via email or text.  Since it also gives you the ability of tracking your cash…

Cassius Callender replied to Lisa Braun's discussion 'Credit Card slip AND Sales Slip or Receipt... How should I handle transactions?'
I always ask them how will they be paying for the item.  For cash or check I give them a little receipt similar to what you have.  For credit cards (when I used an imprinter) I just gave them the copy from the imprinter.  You…

Best show ever and why
My first show...maybe because I didn't know what to expect. I received great feedback from everyone that stopped by and many of the artist that participated.
Worst show ever and why
My fourth and last art fair of 2009. It was a bust for everyone. There were more artists present throughout the day than actual customers.
