Does the weather affect your business?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of AccuWeather. All opinions are 100% mine.

In my area we have lots of indoor craft fairs but where I use to live craft fairs are held outdoors, year round. You were expected to bring your own shelter from either the sun or rain. Even attending one of those outdoor craft fairs as a buyer would get me iffy about going during the spring when you could either have great weather or a down pour. As a seller how do you keep track of the weather? Do you only attend indoor events or do you take a chance on rotten weather chasing your customers away?

If I was to pay for one of those outdoor events and AccuWeather showed that it was going to rain all day that day, I would probably just cancel out on the event. I cannot see getting any of my items ruined in the rain and having hardly any customers show up to buy.

Selling at an outdoor event is fine during the summer months in an area of the country where it does not rain during the summer but I like to not have to rely on the weather to make or break my sales day.
