Many of our customers at Mannequin Madness are makers/crafters who are either buying a mannequin form to help them design their product or they need it to display their product at a craft show.

So we have a vested interest in wanting to help them  be successful when they exhibit at craft shows. That is why we frequently repost articles from blogs which provide tips and strategies for creating a good craft show booth. One of our favorite resources is the Creative Income Blog.

The following article is from their blog which has 10 innovative ways to make your craft booth pop. Notice that tip #9 about a mannequin. We love it when a third party validates the significance of having a mannequin or dress form at craft show booths
