If you go through the display booths, you can pick up good information about what others are doing in the marketplace. It is also a good forum for developing new business relationships. This is much easier if you are simply a participant at the event. If you have a table, you will be more restricted in movement. People that drop by your table will have an interest in what you do

We were impressed with South Western Colorado as a good place to hang your hat and a pretty good place to run a business. Great labor supply, good transportation and excellent tourist flows. The town is growing in Cortez and up the hill in Durango as well. Their nearest trading partners Montrose and Farmington NM also helped with money flows to the area. We like the area and thought it was completely economically viable and an excellent choice especially for manufacturing.About the only drawback is the drug issue in the region, but that is with any US City really. It was not as bad there as we ha

So what is combining the right product to the right craft medium? Here is a good example… A few weeks ago I visited a craft show and came across a furniture maker. The furniture was beautiful and displayed on top of them were a few dolls. Of course, people didn't even notice the dolls and would set them aside so they could get a closer look at the furniture.Now I am not an expect in this field by any means, however I would think that large furnitu

Imagine going to your local grocery store and having to ask the clerk behind the counter to get your groceries for you! If it hadn’t been for a man named Clarence Saunders, a grocery wholesaler from Memphis, Tennessee who took a patent out in 1917 for what he called “Self-Serving Stores” we all might have been at the mercy of store clerks who kept the goods behind a counter. He thought it would save time and money to have the patrons gather their own goods and bring them up to the front of the store where clerks would ring up the purchases.We generally take for granted the process of going to a

The biggest crime in small businesses today goes unnoticed by most outsiders. It is not reported in the media. There are no police reports filed and companies do not even mention it on their websites. People don't talk about it on the street and employees often overlook it. Even though this crime is rampant among small businesses, it's presence is so subtle that many business owners fail to recognize when it is happening! Unfortunately, this crime is the same one that is most likely to kill a small business. It is not stealing by employees, burglaries, trivial lawsuits, or industrial espionage.Th
