OUR
GOAL IS SIMPLE… attract top quality artists
and crafters, run a professional event, and bring buying customers to
the show.
PROFESSIONAL
MANAGEMENT:
We are professional promoters with over 10 years of experience.
We are
available and on site every minute for the entire weekend to answer any
issues
or concerns you may have. As owners of two craft galleries, we
know how
to market handcrafted items. We cater to our artists and work
hard for
your success!
HIGH QUALITY ARTISTS
WITH UNIQUE WORK:
Through a careful jurying process, only top quality artists are
accepted.
Wholesale and ‘buy/sell’ items are strictly prohibited. And
to ensure that every artist has the best possible chance for success, a
maximum
number of crafters are accepted in any one discipline.
ESTABLISHED SHOWS:
The
annual Fall show was first held in the 1970’s and the first Spring show
was in 1998. We have an established base of craft buyers who
visit us
year after year.
HIGH TRAFFIC LOCATION:
The Chester Craft shows is not in some
field in the middle of no where! It is located in downtown
Chester on Main Street where thousands of cars
pass by every day! And the show is just steps away from over 80
specialty
shops and restaurants.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION:
With an advertising budget of over $10,000, our goal is to bring buyers
to the
show. Last year we distributed 30,000 post cards, ran over 20
newspaper
ads, and issued many press releases. We also have an e-mail database of
over 5,000 names and (as you have found) a professional web site.
