Try to make a UNIQUE craft for your business
One of the hardest things to do, is to be unique, to try and come up with arts or crafts that no one else is creating!
It gets harder and harder with all those creative people out there!.. Try going to a craft show and see how many vendors are basically selling lots of the same thing or slight variations of it!
This becomes a problem, because now you have to compete, and the only way to do that is to lower your price, when there are many other vendors selling the same things as you!
You are going to have to do some brainstorming and try and think.. of what to make that would be different and inviting to a customer, something that will make the potential customer go... "oooh I want one of those!!..".
You can get some great ideas in this ebook Crafts To Make and Sell!
If your product is unique is some way, then you can demand a higher price.. this is actually the hardest part, is trying to come up with somethng unique... draw it out in your notebook.. research the materials, and then try a prototype and show your family and friends.. they will be the most honest with you!.. before you head out and try to sell it!
