Craft Show

Postby Dana » October 25th, 2011, 11:19 am

Well here are a couple of pics from the craft show. A lot of the vendors there said that it was very slow and that they didn't do too well. I did a little over $200 profit, after vinyl cost and booth fees. Not too bad for my first show. I seemed to get mostly custom orders, hopefully with some repeat business. I can only hope. I didn't have the greatest setup and now I know some things that I want to do differently. For one... remember to iron the table linens. LOL.

Looks like a very good display... and learning what not to do, and what needs to be done for the next time, is always a good thing. It is so hard to know when you are doing your first craft show, but sounds like you did great!!!

It looks great for your first show Dana! You definitely pick up tips and ideas with each show. Make sure to keep a notebook to record in both at the show and afterwards.
