Tying together different cultures, there is a certain need to find the perfect recipe for business success in whatever endeavor you are trying to achieve. More so with crafting since, nowadays, with the recession leaving people in hopelessness and despair, so many are losing hope and so many are sacrificing personal comforts and wants for their needs. Customers, are very particular about their expenses nowadays.
The crafting industry has had suffered not much of a serious blow, since most festival goers actually do go to these types of events just to have a feel of being 'rich'. There's a sense of accomplishment, like a shopper's high, should they be able to purchase the items that you usually want to buy (but don't need anyway, he he.) Point is, the crafting industry is there to fulfill the needs of the little people. Those who cannot buy a Ming vase off of China. Those who can't afford a Rolls-Royce or a De Beers diamond every week. A little trinket, one that has limited utility, but looks expensive enough (even if it is inexpensive) will truly satiate the rabid buyer inside the customer.
Maintain quality and quantity. Be proud that it is hand crafted because it means that it has soul, and it has the dedication of the crafter within it. Of course, each item should be treated with respect and care, and the seller also has to make sure that the item goes to a well-rounded and responsible owner.
There has been hype over the past few years about crafts and the crafting industry, but never has there been an immediate need for it to flourish now (especially when almost all the folks out there are now depending on home economy to survive and to provide food for their family.
Sooner or later, the time will come. But for now, focus on your craft and improve on it.
