Teach Soap

Hi - Where would be a good source to get some material on displaying my soaps for my upcoming craft show. Signs, (do i make up cards etc)? Not sure how to adverstise them. Cupcakes, baby, wedding etc. Thank you.

I find it helpful to think like a shopper. What would I like to see at a show? What would draw my eye? What kind of information do I need? How easy is it to find the price of something if I am standing at the table? What would make me want to buy, buy, buy?

Will it be a tabletop display? What size table? Will you have a wall behind you? Do you have a pic of any display stands on the table? This would all help to come up with some ideas. Maybe we can help come up with a creative way to get a sign with height to attract some attention. Do you have access to electricity? If it's indoors, maybe a Powerpoint of you making your soaps? i don't sell yet but I am going to have a ball creating displays when I do. You could have a banner made etc.

Hi - I will have 2 tabletop displays. They are about 5 feet long. I have a good idea on the tables, jsut trying to figure out how to display my pricing and what to call the soaps etc. What size paper, cardboard to disp;ay on? Thank you.

I would purchase a few plastic frames at WalMart that stand 11" and place them behind a sampling of soaps. I'd use several here and there throughout the tables so that no matter how big the crowd (you will have a crowd!) everyone can easily view the list and pricing frames. If you have a wall behind you, you could get a big poster frame and tack it up there with some putty listing your co, name, the list of items and prices...if no wall, could you bring a floor easel and have a big sign on it in between tables?
