Craft fairs and outdoor festivals -- generally in the summer time. You can usually get a table at these events for $20-$50 for the day. You will want to have a good selection of inventory; if you do you can usually gross anywhere between $150-$400 (based on my experience). If you have. Your sales will be directly related to your quantity of inventory. Winter bazaars, church sales, holiday festivals -- Oct-December. Check the local paper. Many churches have these annual events and tables are pretty inexpensive. These events are nice because people come to spend $ on gifts.
Home-based jewelry parties. You can host an event yourself, or have a friend host it and give her some free stuff as compensation. I like to have a good friend or relative host - that way I am pretty sure they will follow through. Ask your friend to invite her friends, relatives, etc. for the party. You provide some light snacks and bring all your stuff. Again, people come to buy and you have no competition! If you get people to one of these you will make out pretty well, and you don't need to have as large a selection. I have made up to $1500 in an hour and half! Typically, I'd gross $300-$500 in a pretty short time. Read More>>
