Hello,
I'm a new member on this site.

Credit card processing?
Any opinions on the cheapest and most flexible credit card processing out there? I was with a company called flagship through first data and they had a number of mysterious and hidden fees. Looking for something different for this year with a month

I need to buy my first craft tent and could use advise. I work alone, so it's got to be really easy to put up. Also, I don't do a whole lot of shows, so not sure how much I need to invest, or whether I even need the sides...

Read more…Crafter Police
Along with the jurors also being the art police, we have seen an increase in promoters using crafters to be the buy-sell police. This leaves the acused crafter to redeem himself on the word of a crafter who's motives might not to be pure. It happ

I really need some advice as far as a new tent setup, and not sure whom I can ask, esp in the winter when no one is setting up outdoor displays, (at least in PA). My problem is the wind as I display glass items. Not sure if mesh panels or pro panel

These folks have been around for a couple of years, but I've never seen a review of any of their shows -- which seems odd. There is one scheduled in March in the Jax area (Ponte Vedra) that I'd be more than interested in participating if I knew it w

The Square is a free swiper that plugs into your smart phone or ipad. It is easy and has few fees, BUT it seems too good to be true. I have serious doubts & want to hear from others about this company and machine.

South Miami Art Festival
What a great show! The best I've seen in a long time, and that seemed to be what I heard many others saying. The weather was cool and perfect, and the crowds kept coming and buying! The energy seemed so different than all the recent shows, it was
