DWSUDEKUM Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Those are nicely done Frank. If you are going to display them where folks at a show can pick them up I suggest that you shrink wrap them. You can still seee the puzzle inside but the customer is not suddenly juggling puzzle pieces.Thanks for sharing them with us.

DW DW, I'll play devils advocate here... actually I have found that people need to touch them, feel them and realize they're puzzles to truly appreciate them. I've had some in stores and of course had to shrink wrap them and they don't sell nearly as well. I keep all 120 of mine on display in their natural state when I'm at an event. When a purchase is made, I shrink wrap it for them on the spot for easier transporting. And of course the 200 duplicates I have with me behind the tables are all shrink wrapped in advance.

Very cheap and they work great.

Another tip... if you don't already have business cards, when you get some made up, slide one in each package (on the back side) before shrink wrapping them. blights69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
