I found a powerful idea at Rena Klingenberg’s Jewelry Display Ideas blog: Ever had a booth that was too far from electricity when you exhibited at craft fairs? Bring your own power, for lights & credit-card processing!
How to BYO? Virginia Vivier’s article there has two great suggestions, with solid details given:
Portable battery
- Battery power
- Rechargeable 12-volt battery setup — powers the whole booth!
- Laptop credit-card processing — use freely downloaded software
- Cellphone credit-card processing — get a wireless merchant account
Flexible solar clip light
- Solar power
- Rechargeable clip lights — LED technology makes these efficient and long-lasting
- Solar cellphone charger — self-explanatory
