Right now I am unable to do shows myself. I was wondering if anyone out there has tried to hire someone to sell for them at the shows. If so, I'd like to know the pay structure and duties along with how you find someone for this task. Has anyone hired someone on the other side of the states to do this type of work? Please give me some information on how to recruit someone and your experiences with this type of arrangement.

One major drawback is that most good promoters require the artist/artisan to be present at the show. Now I do know of one person who is handicapped and she did hire someone to work wirth her. She is still in the booth but the other person does all the work. Setting up, selling, etc. But as long as she is present, she fullfills all the criteria.

Hiring someone in another area to sell your work means they are "reps" and again most shows do not allow reps.
