First Juried Show

I've just been accepted for my first juried craft show! The Ajax Festival of the Arts will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2009.

For those of you who don't know, a juried craft show is one in which a panel of judges determines whether your craft is acceptable for selling and/or displaying at their craft show. You can't just show up and sell your wares. You must first submit an application with a description and photographs of your products. The judges will review your application and, depending on their criteria, accept or reject your submission.

This particular show is not very large, but it still looks good on my portfolio that I have participated in a juried craft show.

I'm hoping this is just the beginning. There are some fabulous juried shows. In particular, the One of a Kind show. I can always dream big, right?

Urban Contessa is very excited to launch a new look. Not only a new look, but a new concept.

We are revitalizing the lost art of saying thank you. There was a time when business owners thanked loyal customers with a thoughtful gift. Sadly, what was once a common courtesy has fallen victim to the hurried existence we all seem to live. A thoughtful gift of thanks tells clients that you care and will have them rushing back as return customers.

Thanking your clients with a small gift of appreciation does more than show you care. Let's face it—you want repeat business. One of the easiest ways to do this is to ensure your clients remember you.

To make certain your customers return, your business needs to remain in their memories. Thank them for their loyalty with something they will see and use often. Each time they use your thoughtful gift, they will remember who gave it to them and the positive experience they had with you.

Even better, when their friends comment on it, and ask them where they got it, your clients will pass on your name. There is no better form of advertising than a recommendation from a happy customer.
