If you have a handmade or craft business and sell at venues, chances are you have several notebooks for keeping track of bookings, inventory, and sales. Our planners make organizing easier, in one handy book. The Venue and Sales Planner For Craft Shows was created by home-based artisans and crafters experienced in selling at large and small venues, online, and at outdoor pop-ups and art and craft markets. They share tips on getting started, how to find venues, and a helpful checklist for preparing for selling at shows and craft fairs. The At a Glance calendar lets you circle booked dates and provides a quick reference for the year, The Monthly calendar is perfect for penciling in potential and confirmed venues and appointments, with room for short notes. It makes planning out the year easier. A Weekly calendar is provided for more detailed notes, such as whether the show was profitable or not, dates, times, and locations for shows, and helps prevent overlapping times on days when more than one venue is booked. The expense, inventory, and sales sheets keep track of costs, mileage, and profits. It makes it easier to see which items sell the most, and which venues are profitable. Useful for preparing taxes, profit and loss statements, and tracking mileage. The sheets also work for tracking online sales. The planner makes running a small business much easier and lets you focus on your crafting and creating.
