KL Press The Art of Schlepping: Proven strategies to get in, fit in, and sell your products at markets and fairs by Kismet Andrews and Lisa Thorstenson
Farmers’ markets, holiday craft fairs, bazaars, street fairs, and festivals. What do these all have in common? They are all events where hundreds—if not thousands—of customers spend their money. They are looking for your brand of special sauce (that thing you sell). But not every vendor application is accepted. So how do you increase your odds of getting into those events? Through The Art of Schlepping, that’s how! This revolutionary book will arm you with simple strategies and provide you with the tools you need to be a profitable schlepper. The Art of Schlepping is the indispensable, innovative how-to guide for selling your special sauce at events. It doesn’t matter if you sell original works of art, jams and jellies, fishing flies, sterling silver jewelry, handmade soaps and lotions, leather purses from Peru, or pottery from Mexico. By the end of this book, you will feel confident and prepared with the information you need to make the best decisions for your brand. The Art of Schlepping is based on co-authors Kismet Andrews and Lisa Thorstenson’s twenty-five combined years of schlepping experience. This book was written for you, dear reader. It arms you with everything Kismet and Lisa wish they had known when they started schlepping. This is a field guide for getting your special sauce in front of eager buyers over the span of a few short hours. The Art of Schlepping is written for anyone with a burning desire to sell their special sauce at events, craft fairs, and markets, and it teaches the schlepper how to make money while forging meaningful connections. This book also contains pearls of wisdom for the experienced schlepper who’s looking to step up their game.
