kids tents for sale image
John S
I work in sales, so I get to drive around to see my different clients. And everyday I see people walking their dogs, jogging, playing soccer, skating, walking with their kids, flying kites, etc etc.....how are there so many people that get to enjoy the day while I have to be working???
Answer
They are the unemployed.
Those you see that are in tents are not camping.
They have lost their house.
You will see many more of them before this is over.

How much jewelry will I sell at a craft fair?
CuriousCat
I'm going to a well-established craft fair, but it is my first time selling. I have necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
Do you have any advice on how many items I should bring? Also, how much can I except to sell?
Specifically, what would be considered a lot of pieces to bring/sell?
Answer
bring ALL your stuff...a packed booth gives more choices (basically a numbers game)...how much u sell will depend on a few thing
originality
materials used/quality
pricing
how much competition at the show
and your display
merchandising your jewelry:
you can use some heavy card stock and a hole punch to hold your jewelry
your name of course should be represented on the card....OR you can tie a ribbon or raffia around each piece with you name
selling:
make sure you are interactive with you potential customers (grab the hand mirror....help with the clasps).....If you used sterling silver, swarovskis, semi-precious gems...make sure you state that...I have found that having kiddie stuff helps sales (the kids come in and mom follows)
as far as pricing:
bring some signs that say 25% off, and if things are not going well USE THEM...it is not that much of a loss, and u will be a goddess for sale prices
general stuff for display:
first for YOU,...pack a lunch and beverages... and have shelter from the sun/wind/rain..make sure to have business cards or contact information and a email sign-up sheet with your future show dates...for your display...if a tent, make it so they have to walk in...i usually have a candy dish and fresh flowers for ambiance...your display is best if done vertically....there are many creative ways to display...even tree branches work...make sure you have a table cloth....i have also found that a HIGH directors chair is best AND elevate your table so people are not straining to see items....display your name big and bold!....and make sure you are wearing/using the products......bring a tote that has..pens staples..scissors...tape..hand mirror....gift bags...receipt book....calculator..glue... painted rocks or paper weights.....anything needed to fix anything last minute...and a change box WITH CHANGE..lol... a waitress apron works too...an intriguing booth will draw in the customers...

good luck
