I will have a booth at the Junior League of Raleigh's SPREE holiday market from October 1 - October 5.  This is a new market for me, never been here before.  I have scoped out my competition on the JL's website and feel fairly confident that I will have a unique product to offer.  However, the number of merchants in my category is a little unsettling.

Right now I'm brainstorming on ways to display my jewelry and how to market them correctly in the booth.  The key here is that I think I am the only artist who actually metalsmiths.  Most of the other vendors buy their metal work or buy in bulk from the Atlanta Gift Mart.  Here's hoping that the crowd in Raleigh appreciates handmade, original jewelry!

If anyone has suggestions on marketing pieces or booth layouts, I'd love to hear your ideas.

Thanks,
