Title: Last Two Shows
Post by: Dan26 on November 22, 2011, 09:33:43 pm

I did two Christmas bazaars last week. Overall I was satisfied. I sold 5 portraits: an Indian Chief, 2 Hidden Faces in Nature, and 2 Marine - Courage. I made 38 sled ornaments and sold 34. Sold a few pens and some odds and ends. I have one more show and it was a very good one last year so I plan to make another 30 sleds and several more portraits. Good news is...I get to buy some more tools! ;D

Congrats, sounds like a pretty good show, about how many people did you have through the time you were there?

I don't know how many people came through. Some vendors said the crowd was a little smaller than last year. I'm still learning the ropes of these shows. Several customers said my prices were too low and only a few said too high on the pens.

Way to go!
Can I ask, how much do you sell the sled ornaments for?

I sold the sleds for $10 each. A few people said I should charge more. I'm thinking about $12 at the next show.

Torsten, I will be in the same shows next year. I want to do at least one each month starting in Sept. If I have enough inventory, I'll shoot for six shows.
