If you are wanting to become a professional scrapbooker and charge money to scrapbook for people who don’t have the time. You really need to start getting ready for the Christmas Season. This season is the best one to kick start your business into high gear.

I’m always planning for Christmas in July & August. You need to think about what you’re going to sell, what packages you can offer, which ones go over the best, which ones are HOT, and which ones you may let go for this year.

Getting involved with all the Christmas festivities will bring you lots of business.

You can start out by doing the flea market & craft fairs
Don’t ever underestimate selling at the flea market, I personally started my business at age 20 doing the flea market every single weekend for 2 years, and I might add that I was pregnant with my second child too! This afforded me to open my first store and soon 4 ore after that.

And brick and mortar stores are not cheap, just one sign for one of our locations cost us just over $4000.00 - so don’t think the flea market is not something worthwhile to do, because it really is.

Now’s the time to look into booking your tables at craft fairs for the best spots, and if you become more regular & seasoned you will get better spots within the fair.

What that means basically is that you will end up getting to know the people who run the show and if you show them you will do all the shows they offer you will gain some favor.

Or why not hold your own craft fair? And do some give aways of your own services, heck it’s your fair so you can run it and highlight your own business too.

If you haven’t started planning for Christmas yet don’t worry, there’s still time to get in on all the holiday action. Just get busy looking into the events in  your area.
