SUMMARY:SHOUT! Breaking the Silence though Creativity - Outreach's Maker's Fair
DESCRIPTION:The National Day of Silence is a day of action in which students across the country vow to take a form of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools. Outreach - Centenary College of Louisiana's QSA is celebrating breaking the silence by holding a Maker's Fair and Art Show at Jones Rice Field at Centenary College.    Below is information for vendors:          How to Draw People to Your Maker's Booth          SMILE!Seems silly but I see it happen every time- a Maker sits behind their booth waiting for    someone to approach them. Your smile is just as important as your product.         DEMONSTRATE!Customers love to see Makers in action and Makers who are able to    demonstrate their craft draw in more customers. This doesn’t have to be complicated. Try to    avoid anything that will not let you work with potential customers.         SIGNAGE! Your space should have a sign. Draw people to your area with an easy to read sign.    Since you will be bringing your own table\, you can test your sign before the day of the fair. Make    sure potential customers can see the sign from at least 10-15 feet away.         TOOLS FOR REPEAT CUSTOMERS! The following are suggestions to help you stay connected to    your customers after SHOUT!    • Your business cards    • A clip board with a pen and paper to collect client addresses and email addresses    • Information that includes any websites\, online stores\, or blogs where your work can    be found.         What will you need the day of the fair?    DON’T FORGET YOUR CHAIRS!          BRING PLENTY OF CHANGE ATMS is not nearby and not every bank is open in Saturday. Make    sure you have plenty of change for your customers. Outreach is not able to make change for any    Maker.         KNOW THAT A WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTION IS SPOTTY AT BESTif you are depending    on any type of wireless connection\, it is very unreliable. Please have a back up plan.         CALCULATOR\, PEN\, PAPER If you are not going to build in the applicable sales tax to your    items\, a calculator will help to calculate taxes. Pen and paper may help with any notes\, scribbles\,    and autographs.         DRESS IN LAYERSMornings can be cool but may warm up quickly. Since meteorologists have a    difficult time getting a forecast right\, dress comfortably and come prepared.         Only 1 electrical space per Maker. No exceptions.    Please let us know in advance if you have shelves\, racks\, or other displays that are taller than 3 feet.    All proceeds from sales go to the individual vendors. Vendors are responsible for collecting and paying sales tax where applicable. When tax time comes around\, you’ll have to pay income tax on all the items you sold and pay the sales tax to the state where the fair is held.
