Make my entry cards
Private printable tool. Floorplan doesn't collect or save entrants' personal details. This sample is not a complete set of contest rules; vendors must check applicable laws and their own privacy obligations before running a promotion.
Enter. Connect. Keep in touch—only with permission.
Ask only for a first name and way to notify the winner. Invite shoppers to learn more about what you make.
Give independent, unchecked options for email updates and one-time home-party inquiries. Never assume giveaway entry means marketing consent.
PLAN YOUR PRICE DISPLAYS
Tags, group signs, or no visible prices?
Compare the benefits and drawbacks before choosing. Keep pricing easy to understand without distracting from handmade products.
✓ Benefits
Customers know the price of the exact piece without asking.
Different prices and unique handmade details are easy to distinguish.
Helps shoppers decide at their own pace.
! Drawbacks
Takes time to tag everything and to keep tags updated.
Too many large labels can crowd a beautiful display.
Stickers or dangling tags may damage or distract from delicate goods.
Best use: Best when individual pieces differ in price. Use small, coordinated hangtags or labels beside—not on—delicate work.
Floorplan recommendation: combine individual tags with small group signs.
Give shoppers clear prices so they can browse independently. Conversations can still start with a friendly question—not by making people ask what everything costs.
✓ For most craft-market booths, combine small individual tags on varied items with neat group signs for identical price points.
✓ Use a clean, plain tablecloth so the tags and products stand out. Match the signage to your brand and keep it readable.
✓ Put one price next to each group, not a master sign across the table that makes visitors guess.
✓ For custom orders, state an honest starting price or range and what changes the quote; never imply every customization is included.
✓ Label CAD, taxes if applicable, and exact bundle terms accurately. Avoid implying a price is final when additional mandatory charges apply.
✓ You can still begin a warm conversation with an open-ended question even when shoppers can see every price.

THE FRIENDLY HELLO
Never sound like a broken record.
Have a few welcoming lines ready. Ask an open-ended question to get a genuine conversation started, then listen. Don't pressure someone who wants to browse quietly.
TRY THIS OPENING · Friendly first hello“Welcome! I’m glad you stopped by.”
“What kinds of handmade treasures caught your eye today?”
A great greeting isn't a sales pitch.
✓ Rotate several friendly openers so you do not sound like a recording.
✓ Start with a real, open-ended question; then listen to the answer.
✓ Ask one question at a time. Follow their interests instead of delivering a sales pitch.
✓ Avoid leading with “Can I help you?” if shoppers tend to answer “Just looking.”
✓ If someone wants to browse quietly, smile, give them space, and invite them to take a business card.
✓ Finish every purchase with a logo bag and TWO business cards: one to keep and one to share.
DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THESE
Simple booth basics that make a big difference.
A plain solid-colour tablecloth, business cards and a visible QR sign help visitors remember you. Safe table-height and display risers improve visibility. Keep everything off the floor in front of your booth, pack cash change, and send purchases home in a logo bag with TWO business cards inside: one to keep and one to share. Scissors, tape and zip ties save the day when something needs fixing.

BEFORE RUNNING A GIVEAWAY
Good intentions still need clear rules.
Canadian contest rules can require prize values, eligibility, winner selection and other material disclosures. Promotional emails require a valid consent basis, business identification and an unsubscribe method. A giveaway entry alone should not be treated as consent to recurring marketing.
