A craft fair stall that sells without you saying a word

Shoppers at a craft fair browse quickly and many will not ask a price. A banner with your name, a tag on every piece and a sign that says you take cards do the talking.

In short

Craft fair stall signs and tags

A craft fair stall needs a price on every item (tags about 3 × 5 cm), a banner with your business name across the front of the table, an A5 sign saying you take cards, and handmade gift tags or care cards in each bag. Print on 300 gsm card in your brand colours and pack spare blank tags.

What to make

What a craft stall usually needs

  1. A price on every piece

    A small tag on each item, or one clear sign for a basket of the same thing. Shoppers who have to ask often walk on instead.

  2. A stall banner

    Your business name on flags across the front of the table or the top of the gazebo. It is how people remember you and find your shop online afterwards.

  3. A payment sign

    Cards and contactless welcome, or cash only, at eye level by your till. It answers the most common question before it is asked.

  4. Handmade gift tags

    A tag tied to each purchase with your name, a short thank you and where to find you. It turns a gift into a recommendation.

  5. Care and material cards

    What it is made of and how to look after it, such as hand wash only or keep out of direct sunlight. A small card in the bag shows the work is cared for.

  6. A commissions sign

    Commissions welcome, ask me about custom colours, with a sign-up sheet or a card to take away. Fairs often lead to orders after the day.

Questions

Questions people ask

Should I put prices on everything at a craft fair?

Yes. Many shoppers will not ask, and a clear price helps them decide. Use a tag on each piece or one sign for a group of items at the same price.

What size price tags work at a craft fair?

Around 3 × 5 cm for individual items, large enough to read when picked up without covering the work. For baskets of the same item, an A6 card is clearer.

What should be on a craft fair banner?

Your business name, and perhaps one word about what you make, such as ceramics or knitwear. Keep it short enough to read from the aisle; your social handle can go on a smaller sign.

What do I need to tell customers about handmade items?

Materials and care instructions are helpful on every piece. Some products, such as candles, cosmetics and toys, have specific labelling and safety rules, so check the guidance for your product and where you sell.

How do I make my stall look professional?

Use one colour scheme across the banner, tags and signs, raise some items on stands so the table has height, and keep prices and payment information easy to see.
