lindsaycb Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 do you think it makes a difference on attracting customers to you?I'm eyeing up a red ezup canopy because it coordinates with my logo, etc. BUT, is red offending? Exciting?I know in the past some craft show coordinators required white so they'd all blend in...but I don't think that happens so much does it?I rarely do shows, and if I do do them, I guess I want to stand out. Red & White all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crying Moon Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Personally, I would stick with the white. It lets the most light in, and gives a true color of your products. I've seen some other crafters with blue, or green tents, and it just looks dark underneath. I'd find a way to incorporate the red in other ways with displays.

Scent Cellar Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I know of one huge festival that requires the white tent. Your products will stay cooler in the white tents too. If you like red, just make some banners that hook onto the top of the rods and let them hang down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerticallyEnhanced Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think red would definitely make you stand out, but I would worry about setting yourself up for having to keep the same color scheme forever, kwim? If you decided to change your "look" you would be stuck with a red tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I agree, white and a banner would be good. The red color can actually effect the colors of your product and give them a pinkish tone. I have a spare one that is blue, and everything under it looks a blue tint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think a white tent would be better, the simpler your surroundings, the more radiant your products will look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnyeg Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I have a blue tent (there was a $100 price difference between it and the white one!) I dont notice that it casts a blue hit, just a regular shadow. I keep very cool under it as well. I've NEVER seen a show in my area requiring a white tent.

sockmonkey Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I'm just getting started doing outdoor craftshows, but I haven't seen a requirement for white tents yet. I've been to craft shows though, and seen some pretty skanky looking "white" tents.I think people might associate a red tent with food. It seems a lot of outdoor food vendors use red and white themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think it'll make you stand out in a sea of white, but you gotta have more than color (as I know you know) to get the initial draw. I really don't think people go by color or are drawn to it. JMO.Red would probably hide the dust and dirt and whatnot that the white tents pick up. However, red seems to be a little harsh to some eyes. Using red could throw up a danger Will Robinson feeling or a stop sign. I don't find the color all that inviting.

elle110 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 White is required by a lot of large festivals for continuity (sp), it makes the whole them look nice if everyone is the same at least in that area. You can get creative with your banner, or use bold color, that is what people will look up at, who you are and what you have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
