How To Generate Interest With On The Go Craft Projects

Published by neonola at 1:22 pm under Promote Your Crafts Edit This

This is a super easy way to generate local interest in whatever you’re working Many crafts are portable, at least at some stage of completion. By working on a craft in public, you’re bound to attract attention. Have your business cards ready, and give them out to anyone who shows interest!

Why not take them along to the park or the bus stop to work on them? Even working on your front porch may give you a chance to work outside and spark the curiosity of passersby. If you’re shy, this is a good way to have others approaching you about your crafts.

What’s the downside to this approach? Be prepared to spend more time chatting than working. This isn’t the time to do any stitch counting or difficult fancy work or you’ll just end up frustrated.

Your work may inspire more questions about learning how to do the craft than where to buy the finished thing. If you have the time to teach, charging for lessons can be a welcome bonus to your income, so this isn’t always a bad thing!
