tonylumps Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Today i did a craft Show in a town on the Phila.Mainline.There are more Dogs and cats than people in this town.I took about 100 pens 30 Animal puzzles and other assorted Scroll Work. Go Figure did not sell 1 puzzle. Sold a few ornaments.If it was not for a few pens I sold The day would have been a total loss.Can't figure this one out.The vender next to me was selling gourmet dog biscuits and only sold 2 bags.But was giving out samples to all of the Dogs and they ate them like crazy.

Sorry the day wasn't better for you Tony. It's a total mystery sometimes why a show doesn't do as well as you'd think it would. Keep at it. Quote

meflick Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Sorry it wasn't a good sales day for you Tony. Maybe you can add some beer stein and pretzel puzzles to the mix to attract the Pub crowd. wombatie 1 Quote

DWSUDEKUM Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Tony like the display. Do not consider this a bad show, rather a chance to meet and greet potential customers. While they may not have purchased much at this show, perhaps they were window shopping for ideas for Christmas gifts or what ever. Point being talk, give out business cards get them interested. A following generally does not happen overnight. it can take up to 5 years for customers to become repeat customers and give referrals. Like your work, keep it up and have patience.:) DW Quote
