Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
The Craft Review has a cover tag that claims it is the business resource for artists and retailers. While I am not sure that it lives up to the tag line, I believe that it is a strong startup resource for a crafter expanding their business. The magazine is published monthly by Jones Publishing Inc. Oddly enough, the most helpful section for me turned out to the the questions and answer column, since the questions asked were questions I had concerns about. The subjects addressed how to sell in a booth, what to wear, when to approach a customer, trusting other people to man your booth, etc. In the March 2008 issue columns included Co-Op Advertising, Applying to Craft Shows, and Developing Business Goals. Most of the columns were informative and interesting to read, with photos and graphics interesting enough to hold an artists' eye. The magazine assumes that you know your craft and are interested in learning about the business end of it. I think anyone trying to expand their sales further than their hometown could learn a few things from this publication.
