So, I’m supposed to be getting a booth/table at some bazaar events soon… I’m scared to death. I just started up my business (it’s on my page) and I’ve never done any of this.

How many products should I make? Should my pricing be what I have now? Should I go up? How does this work? What happens if I sell out (doubtful, but still)?

Any tips or advice about doing bazaars would be great. I’m pretty nervous.

    You’ve got some excellent advice here.

    I’ll add, bring a friend. Or have someone come by occasionally to spell you.

    Why? Because you will need someone to mind the booth while you take a bathroom break, or just go stretch your legs or grab a bite, or whatever. Also bring something to sit on, and some snacks and water.

    You could just swap “watch my booth for 5 minutes, willya?” favours with someone at the next booth, but what happens if they get swamped with customers?

    Regarding pricing. Price item. Keep the price the same as your Etsy shop but give a 20% discount. You still will make a bit more than what you make on Etsy due to your free shipping, Etsy’s commission and the cost of packaging . Or Buy 2 at regular price get third 50% off. People love deals.
