Has anyone paid for craftlister.com? If you don't, you only get one month in advance. Just curious b/c I was checking it out a bit (b/c people have mentioned it on here). I am aware of some booths in my area and help organize some as well. There don't appear to be too many in the area that I would think of doing so I'm not sure it'd be worth it for this area.

Thanks!
 
I consider it a business expense but in my area (near Dallas) there are at least 84 listed right now within 50 miles of my zip code. I also put in reviews and add events that I know of to get extensions on my membership

There are 2 for 50 miles in my area for the next month and only about 6 listed at over 1 month. Doesn't seem worth it to me, which is why I asked. Sounds like it's great for you!

I'm in Western WI and not very close to any big city. That probably really limits the actual number of things going on. Lots during the late spring early summer, but nothing really listed for now. I'll probably just stick to word of mouth. That seems to work so far.

Hi! <waving bac!> I was in Wave 1! My ED is Donna McDonald :)
 
Activity picks up in our area this time of year. Lots'f of fall craft fairs but I need to do a few and concentrate on shows - That's where the money is Craft fairs are great for leads but it takes time to call everyone.
