Jim Finn Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Yesterday I went to my last scheduled sale of the year.Driving in the rain and in the dark both ways. Ugh! It is in a small town an hour and twenty minutes north of me. Last year I had a great sale there. Not so much this year. Last year, at that venue, I sold 35 of my boxes but only 11 this year. Rain=Not many shoppers. Even though this years event was disappointing, my years total sales were only $70 less than last years total. Less than one percent drop. I did 20 sales events this year whereas I usually did 25 in past years. I do have one small order to fill this year yet, but no more scheduled sales. I may skip this venue next year.Not complaining, just reporting in.<grin> Jim Finn Jim's Woodworks Lubbock Texas GrampaJim, amazingkevin and Phantom Scroller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye10 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Jim your sales didn't sound all that bad when you compare the dollars but then there is profit to compare. It's driving that far that would get to me. I am sure that there must be a lot of sales you could go to this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 This was an indoor venue. The only one I do all year. Yes Don, the drive is not the fun part. No, There are no other sales nearby going on in November or December that I know of, or can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Jim, I wouldn't be to quick to pull the plug on this venue. The results though disappointing, can probably be blamed on the rain. People just don't attend these events in miserable weather. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
