Feedback Needed Banner design thoughts/critiques

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I plan on getting a 2x6 vinyl banner for the purpose of vending at events in the (hopefully) near future! ๐ŸŒˆ

Any thoughts and/or critiques on the design so far? It's a rough idea of what I might be going for lol, definetly not polished.

I was thinking of incorporating some of my interests in the design since I make stickers based off of my interests (and it would give people an idea of what I sell before they stop inside) but that might be too much for just one banner maybe?
I could also just incorporate these things into my booth somehow to where you'd be able to see them before you walk in.

As of right now I just make stickers, Kandi (cuffs, bags, necklaces with perler bead designs, etc.), and I just draw, but I've been wanting to get into prints, print making, keychains, layered cardstock art, etc.

Beginner Help Looking for suggestions

8 Upvotes

I am looking for suggestions. I have my 2nd ever fair coming up in a few weeks. This time I will be sharing the booth with someone and she sells stuff completely different than mine. She does primitive angels and snowmen. I make door signs, greeting cards, decor and mystery self care bags. We will have separate tables but are sharing the booth.

My 1st show was an epic failure, mostly due to weather (outside, August, rain & extreme heat). I know I need varying heights and cohesive displays, but how do I "blend" us so we don't look like a garage sale? My 1st show I only had the table, so I know I need to take that into consideration for lack of sales as well. I don't know if "signage" is a good or bad idea with 2 separate sellers, I don't want it to be confusing! There is also part of my brain that says prices be gone, make me an offer because I'm terrified of over charging... Can i just go back to making things for my family and friends? I think it's too late to back out... Lol I don't know what to do!

Inventory Planning Need inspiration

My local elementary school holds a fundraising auction each year and I have donated items to them for the last couple years. Last year I made bench knives for bread making and the year before were Connecticut themed harbor style wind chime bells.
I would like to donate again but I am lacking inspiration. When I am not excited about a project it just becomes a chore and I donโ€™t enjoy it. So I am looking for a project suggestion that would fit my situation. I have a few weeks to get this done and I have access to many different tools. (Woodworking, machining, welding, CNC router, etc)
What would you suggest as a good project? Have you ever donated to an auction? What gets people most excited?
Thanks!
