"I love this idea! I'd be happy to have a bit of literature from a vendor in my booth in exchange for a free or reduced booth fee."

"I have never asked a customer to pay for breakage. It is always their fault. You could try to get them to buy another piece. (unbroken, of course)"
Amy Perrier replied to Jillian Cori Lippert's discussion Customer damage
"I think you handled the situation appropriately Jillian. Since you didn't actually see her knock the piece off the shelf it would be difficult for me to ask her to pay for it unless she fessed up. Is it possible that when you…"

Customer damage
How do you handle a situation where a piece gets damaged by a customer during an art fair? While packing up at my last art fair, I noticed a woman taking one of my business cards from a holder on a shelf. I glanced away & the next thing I hear is a big crash. One of my pieces had fallen off the back of the shelf onto the pavement & broken. The customer looked at me and said "Oh, do you think that happened because of those kids going by?" I just looked at her. What kids? Where? I…See More

"@John, sounds interesting. Just how does one get an agent/dealer to represent you? I wouldn't even know where to begin to try to contact someone like that."

"Hi Linda,
I did the Venetian Festival last year & didn't even make my booth fee, much less the rest of my expenses. I had done well at the show the year before. I also noticed some questionable vendors last year. In…"

Jillian Cori Lippert replied to bill daniels's discussion 12V portable fan
"I use the 02 fan from Walmart using the batteries. I've used the same batteries in 3 shows now. Last show the heat index was 112 & the fan did help. It won't cool your booth, just you. "

Fair on the Square, Baraboo, WI. May 14th
Posted on May 16, 2011 at 10:13pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
This was my first time doing the Fair on the Square in Baraboo. They didn't hand out booth assignments until 6a, with the fair starting at 9a. I take a long time to set up when I'm doing a fair alone, so I got there early in hopes of getting my assignment early, so I could start setting up. I got there about 5:15 and was the 9th in line.
I was impressed with their organization. Streets had been clearly marked with no parking signs and a few food and ride booths were…
Continue EZ Up Damage

Help!
I was going to set up my booth today to reshoot my booth photo. I got the EZ Up set up but before I could stake it down, a wind gust caught it and blew it over. One of the legs sort of bent over and I now see the frame is warped. I'm not sure what to do. Since the frame is aluminum, should I try to push it (or hammer it) back into place or should I see if it will close as is? Now I'm worried about strength as I try to use it for this art fair season…
