Title: Arts and Crafts Show Today a Success
Post by: Toneman on November 17, 2012, 08:09:05 pm
well, today went pretty good at our local arts and crafts show in Paris, Tx. I had a booth inside facing the entrance so my booth was the first people saw and I believed that helped. Also, I was the only scroller selling. Ornaments went pretty good at $4.00 each,sold several figures in the $7-$15.00 range. I did sell a few wall plaques in the $20.00 range. All together, around $550.00 for 7 hr show. I know this not a very large amount, but, I was pleased. Heard the attendance was around 3000.

As long as you are happy, that is all that matters.  Sellings things we create is so good for our egos.  :D

I think you did great! It gives you an idea of the types of things that sell.

Great job Tony, as long as you had a great day out and enjoyed yourself, then any profit is a bonus.

Tony I look at it this way.  You came home with more money in your pocket than you had when you started, so it was a great day.  I'm really happy to hear people are starting to purchase once again.

I wouldn't say $500 is not too much money. I did a show once a few years ago and only made $14. Glad you had a good time. Bobby
