Really nice display. How did you do money wise?
Craft Show Verdict
And the verdict is...
OMG I'm exhausted! Sunday, Monday, AND Tuesday, I didn't get to bed before midnight, (closer to one a.m.) and had to be up only a few hours later. I was stopped last night because the poly ran out. I had at least six or seven signs that were supposed to go, but had to be left behind. I also had many that were still drying this morning, and I had to put the bows/final touches on them at the fair.
So here are a few pictures of the original layout of my "booth." there's a couple missing, but they weren't done yet. I had to put their bows on yet. A local radio station here in Michigan (WCSX) does a "City of the Week" and this week is Rochester, which is where I work/had the craft fair. Imagine my surprise when the hosts of the program want to take their picture at my booth, holding my signs/product! (The girl that runs the fair and one of the members of the group held a frog, and the woman held up my sign that had a deer on it. You talk about STOKED! So, I was told to watch their site, because my booth may make it to their website. How KOOL is that???

I knew a retired college professor that did craftshows, and consignment shops. Where he was I think I recall that a table was around $135, plus moving in, then out. He got one of those thingies for reading cards, and increased his sales noticably. Then he started getting repeat orders (he made custom boxes that went for around $50 usually, and up to about $75. Then he started getting orders from people who had bought at the consignment shop. And the repeat orders kept rising, plus the consignment shops started calling HIM. He was able to drop craft shows entirely, and had a full load with the repeat orders and consignment shops. Maybe that will happen to you one day.You better get ready for some ordersafter that show airs
