Let me introduce myself. My name is Jacqueline I’m the Show Manager for the Made by Hand Show. After participating in dozens of shows over the years as a vendor, we decided that it time to put my years of experience as a vendor to good use. In May of 2011 “Made by Hand” was launched. At Made by Hand our goal is to promote handmade artists and artisans.
As a vendor have you ever been to a show and been disappointed? For me, it is just as important that our vendors participating in the show have as good as an experience as the customers do. My biggest pet-peeve from other shows is how poorly many of the shows were advertised and how often once I paid my booth fee, that I never heard from the organizers again.
To make sure that our vendors didn’t have these same complaints, we strive to deliver solid advertising and ensure constant communicate to our vendors.
On November 5th, 2011 we hosted the first Made by Hand Show. It was a huge success, we showcased over 150 quality handmade vendors, and welcomed over 1750 customers.
For me, it wasn’t enough to just have happy artisans and customers, we wanted to give back too - all the door proceeds from the entire day will go to Crafting for a Cure, a not for profit registered charity that looks for opportunities to insure children are having a positive experience when a hospital visit is necessary.
