She shares her experiences in a five part series of posts on her blog, A Painting Day with Kristen Stein. If you are interested in learning the ins and outs from a &#8216;newbies&#8217; perspective, read Kristen&#8217;s informative posts listed below: Part 1: Deciding to do the BMAC Show &#8220;So, as I was looking through Arts/Craft Show application deadlines online, I found the application for the &#8220;Buyer’s Market of American Craft&#8221; (BMAC) at the Philadelphia Convention Center. The jury fee was $10.00 and I decided to apply along with several other applications that I was submitting. The show dates were February 12, 2010 thru February 15, 2010. The date of my application: January 13, 2010!!! One month before the show. YIKES!!&#8221; &#8230; more Part 2 : My initial Questions.

These costs may or may not include the following items: Parking fees while exhibiting at the show Required contracted labor fees for workers who assist  moving your displays or supplies in or out of your booth Extra booth decorations, displays and supplies Automobile, U-Haul rental or shipping expense needed to get your products and materials to the show Gas or plane fare to the show Membership fees required to exhibit at certain shows Fire retardant materials required by the show sponsors Mailers and marketing costs incurred before and/or after the show Other addition costs not directly included in your booth fees are lodging and meal costs while exhibiting at the shows.  Since most gift shows are held in larger cities across the country, lodging and meals costs is the next biggest expense.  Most shows are four days with extra time needed to step up and tear down, so you need to budget for about five nights in [...]]]></description>
