Dear Friend,

Are you tired of spending so much time looking for quality craft shows?

Tired of making so many calls only to find out the prices of shows are too high?  Want more time to create your crafts, sell them, and enjoy the profits?

How would it feel to get the basic information about quality art and craft shows in your mailbox each month?

Like having your own personal assistant making calls, searching the internet, and mailing letters for more information.  Having them research, organize and deliver to your desk all the information you need to make your business effective.

Stop wasting precious time and money looking for successful shows.  Don't hear about an event after it is over.

Know prices before you call. 

Improve your marketing, saving time and increasing sales.
Have more time to enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Hello, my name is Shasta McLaughlin, and I know how hard it is to find quality shows for vendors.  

I have always been an artist and crafter.  I was the one you would find drawing on the walls and notebooks in crayon. 

Through out childhood I created crafts with my mom.   When I was six my mom taught me to crochet and knit so I would have something to do on long trips.  I also took crocheting in 4-H.

My grandmother always had a quilt on when we visited, so that was a skill I learned.

I watched as she discussed shows with other artists and crafters.

My home was planned with a craft room on the main floor so I could be with my family and accomplish my crafts.

I understand how much time it takes looking for quality places to sell crafts, and better methods of marketing them.   I realize the more time you spend looking for shows the less time you have to make your crafts, perfect your skills, market your product, and attend the shows you're searching for.

All these things keep your business from being as profitable as it could be.  Keeping you from having time and money to spend with your loved ones.

I have searched every newspaper, chamber of commerce website, city site, and bulletin board looking for shows.

I attended shows and discussed shows with other vendors.

October of 2005 a friend asked me about being in a craft show with her.  We decided it was too expensive but decided to put on a craft show.  We organized and put on a show that Christmas.  What a surprise to find out how expensive it is to put on a show and how much work is required.

The hours you spend looking for shows could be used to do something of more importance like...

creating your product, marketing it, selling it or enjoying family, friends and life. 

A vendor at my first Christmas show had the answer...

A newsletter for artists, crafters, antique dealers, trade show vendors, and farmers' market producers.

I have been publishing the newsletter since July 2006 and have listed thousands of art shows, craft shows, fairs, festivals, trade shows, farmers' markets, bazaars, antique shows and more.

Now you don't have to search all over the internet for shows or make hundreds of calls...

to find out that most of those shows aren't happening this year.  Don't spend countless hours and your precious money making calls to shows you can't afford to attend.

How much is your time worth?

$10-$15-$30 per hour?

Let's say you value your time at $20 per hour if you spend just one hour a week researching and calling for more information for shows that's 52 hours a year.

52 hours x $20 hour= $1040

Is your time worth more than $20 per hour?

The newsletter contains quality art and craft shows, antique shows, fairs, festivals, trade shows, farmers' markets, and gem and bead shows delivered to your mailbox every month.

I spend approximately 180 hours a year researching shows.  It would cost over $945 a year if you paid an assistant minimum wage to do what I do.  Doing it yourself takes your time from more profitable and enjoyable tasks.

Don't lose valuable time that could be spent on tasks that really bring in the money.

Articles include booth etiquette, booth displays, marketing tips, press releases, checklists, book and product reviews, and more.  Hundreds of great tips designed to help you save time, make more money, and be more successful at the events that you attend.

I was so excited to find this answer to my problems and have been so blessed to be able to offer it to you.
