Craft Fair Booth Signage for Attention
15
items Well-designed signs can make all the difference at a craft fair. Bold, eye-catching signage helps draw people in, making it easy for shoppers to see what you offer at a glance. I appreciate signs that are clear, creative, and match the brand’s style—...

If you are able to put a sign in front of your tent this is a great way to alert passersby to what you are selling. Try for 5 words or less to grab attention in seconds. Best of all since it's a chalkboard you can change it up each time!
A-Frame Chalkboard Sign to grab attention
This is a great option if you want to have the same message at all your fairs and having it professionally printed shows your professionalism too.
Custom A-Frame Sign
A great alternative to a fully custom tent canopy is a 1 foot tall by 9 foot long custom vinyl banner. Few vendors have anything across the top of their tents so use this to shout out what you are selling. Just use strong magnets to “attach” it to your tent.
1x9 feet Custom Vinyl Banners for Tents
I think having a banner with what you sell hung at eye level along the back wall of your tent is a must. You only have a few seconds as people walk by to grab their attention. I suggest a 2 foot tall by 6 foot wide banner as the most universal for indoor and outdoor fairs.
Custom Vinyl Banners | 2 x 6 or 2 x 8
Table runners are a great way to call attention to your booth when you are not able to have eye-level signage. If you are draping them over the center of your table get a 30 or 36 inch width - OR - If you drape them over the ends of your tables (like a U shape set-up) then get 24 inch widths.

If you want to splurge on a custom table cover vs a solid color tablecloth then Vistaprint can help you with that.
Custom Table Coverings
The ultimate attention grabber is indeed the fully customized printed canopy tent.
Custom Pop-up Tents 10 x 10 | VistaPrint
If you have room for these they are another way of grabbing the attention of passers by. Just take note that many fairs you must stay within your designated booth space.
Retractable Custom Banners
Having professionally printed payment signs give an elevated feel to your booth setup compared to handwritten signs.

Okay technically it's not a sign BUT I added it to the list because a custom tote bag can be a great walking advertisement for your business as your customers walk around the fair. And with more and more places banning single-use plastic bags this is...
Custom Shopping Tote Bag
I use these to hang my signs up - they are small as to not distract from your signs BUT powerful enough to hold your vinyl banners to your tent or tablecloths.
Strong Neodymium Disc Magnets
These cords are perfect to attach your vinyl banners with grommets to the back wall of your tent. Plus having extra cords in different sizes is always a good idea to keep with your set-up equipment because you never know what you may need them for.
