#SFEtsy October 30th - Holiday Craft Shows

This week's Etsy bootcamp topic is How to Rock it at a Holiday Show.

We'll be covering this topic as well, looking at where to find out about shows and how to make a good application. We'll also share our tips for making a good booth setup and displaying items to their best advantage.

What you wear and how you behave are just as important to a successful show so we'll be chatting about that, too. Finally we'll talk about how to build a longer lasting connection with the customers you meet at a show.
