Thinking Ahead in Oklahoma Craft Shows

By Rick Amorey

When you are in Oklahoma, diversity is the name of the game. Of the many craft shows held here every year, there are those that are dedicated to ethnic groups of every kind, including their culture and cuisine. As such, if you plan to make a small business selling crafts in Oklahoma, then you should learn to be equally as diverse as they are.

For example, you could be attending a Latino festival in one month, and then go straight to a Vietnamese themed on the next. You'll learn to plan ahead when you do this. If you have acquired handcrafted items, planning may be as early as a few months before the event. Your crafts should be in line with the fair, after all. But the question is, how will you be able to prepare early if you do not know the details of the event in question?

The short answer to that question is; you just can't. You have to be aware of the events months in advance. This is a very difficult thing to manage; you have to scout the events, look for fliers, and talk to the event organizers before most people will even think about that festival occurring. Until recently, this involved carefully jotting down the dates of the annual fairs. They mostly occur at around the same date anyway.

However, recent technology and innovations such as the Internet have made this a lot easier. Instead of looking for said fliers, all you have to do is to go online and use any search engine to find a listing of fairs and festivals online. This way, you'll have plenty of time, and save a lot of effort.

So, what's the hold up? Try a hand at selling handcrafted items and be at the right place with the right know-how at Oklahoma fairs and festivals. Search online now! - 20607
