Turning Arts and Crafts Into a Franchise

Many of us have been to an art show. We all have seen the amazing things that can come out of an art show. For some reason I find that the most creative things for your house, lawn or garden, or even the office come from art shows. People that have talents and a creative gene in them seem to flourish at these events. If you are one of those people I would definitely get involved with the community and show your creative side. The reason that these events seem to work so well is not only the fact that people go on vacation and check out local events like this, willing to spend money, but people are always on the search for individualism. People want to find personal items for themselves or for a gift that you cannot find in a commercial store.

When people are on vacation the items that they buy take on a meaning to them. How many times have you heard someone say "Ohh that's what we got on vacation in so in so place"? The items hold more value to the person by taking on the value of the trip and therefore people are willing to spend more money on items. You can cash in on this greatly if you can provide a service or crafty good to people in the community or even tourists.

What if the area you live in doesn't have a regular arts and crafts show? Or the local fairgrounds only have a few shows a year. The next best thing or maybe even better depending on what you are trying to provide the community with is a farmers market. Most farmers markets not only sell food to eat right away or produce to take home but also specialized art goods. This is the perfect setting to show your creative side and make some money on a specialized service that you are good at. In a town called San Luis Obispo in California every Thursday is farmers market night downtown were the community and surrounding communities come together to create an amazing outdoor market place.

They have everything available: instant dinner, BBQ, fresh local produce, arts, music, and clothes. The local stores also contribute by keeping their shops and boutiques open longer and having farmer's night sales. If you can get a spot in one of these areas you can make quite a bit of money. Most people are regular vendors at these kinds of shows and earn their entire living working in a farmers market or arts and craft show. In 2007, across the United States a reported 82% of all arts and crafts vendors made between $1,200 a month and $3,400. That is huge money that you can turn into an addition to your main income or even turn into your regular income.
