Splitting Craft Fairs

[kris2056]

Hi all!

I've read some great information on doing craft fairs here but I have one question. For those of you that do it with another person, how do you split the earnings? Do you keep track of who sold what? If so, how?

Thanks!

Kristen,

I have done a couple of craft fairs with a friend. We wrote down what people bought and then split the earnings depending on who did what. So if I made the cards and she made the notebooks, we split the money based on that. The stuff we did together, like we also sold those jars with ingredients in them to make breads, cookies, etc. we just split those down the middle since we both contributed to buying the ingredients.

I hope that made sense.

Good luck!

I've done this too. We each just take an inventory of what we have before starting, along with the price of each, then at the end take an inventory as we're packing up and calculate what we've sold. This works very well.

When I used to do fairs with a friend this is what we did -- everything we sold had a tag/sticker with the price and an inventory code. The code was prefaced with our own initials and then a number (i.e. LP-36, $2.50 or JM-24, $6.00). We used a sales/receipt book with either carbon copies or NCR paper copies, listing each item sold, giving the customer the top and keeping the copy for us. We reconciled using the copies of the receipts after the show.
