Popular Post Iguanadon Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Day 1 of a 2 day event was today. I had to shake the rust off and remember how to do this! :-) Sold 40 today with a decent sized crowd ($885). Tomorrow should be better since today wasn't a holiday for many folks. Goal for tomorrow is to sell 60. Dogs were the number 1 selling item as usual selling 14 of them. I sold several items I only had 1 of on hand, so I'll have some cutting to do next week to restock. Next Saturday I heard about an event called WoofStock... a dog festival. Dog parade and everything. LOL I'll give it a try and see if enough dog crazy folks show up. meflick, frankorona, jbrowning and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, yep, but that was a formal, fancy actual dog show. Lesson learned, I won't do that again. WoofStock is a fun parade and dog festival for dogs and their humans. I'm looking forward to this one. https://www.facebook.com/events/171835623576672/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justdraftn Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Wow..... that is really cool. How much time to think you have in each piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdatelle Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Great job as usual Iggy. Good luck tomorrow. I think you better have a lot of dog puzzles on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hope you had another great day today Scott. Look forward to hearing more great success stories for you this season. I was going to mention the dog show bust but see Dan, dgman, beat me to it. Glad to hear you think this "normal people" event will do better then that "official formal fancy" show. I would think so too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down to 20 minutes per puzzle now. Not that I rush through them, I enjoy cutting each and every one of them, I just have a nice flow going now.

Iguanadon Posted March 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Day 2 = 57 sold. Total for the 2 days = 97 Just shy of target of 100. I'm very happy for the first event of the year. They advertise that the event draws 14,000 people. It was very busy today and yesterday wasn't too shabby at all as far as foot traffic. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be "too" nosey....but... do you set this up on an assembly line kind of thing?? Rough cut all the pieces, glue patterns to all of them, then start cutting. Are you setup to receive cc payments? Is that hard to get setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough cut all the pieces, glue patterns to all of them, then start cutting. Are you setup to receive cc payments? Is that hard to get setup? You're not being nosey, I'm happy to answer questions. Check out my videos on You Tube, I cover a lot of your questions. This link should take you to them. Let me know if it doesn't. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrcQ1TitDtz-ViCOg1RUN8Q Assembly line is a pretty good description, I'm very much into processes and efficiency, it's just how I am. I lay out 20 patterns on a 6' long board, cut it into pieces with a jigsaw, then I cut the outlines of all 20, then drill the holes as needed in each one, do all the interior cuts for all of them, and then the final step is cutting the puzzle pieces for all of them. Yes, accepting credit cards at events is pretty much a necessity these days. I'd say half my sales are CC and half are cash. Square is very easy to set up an account and get started. P.S. I wrote a "booklet" about getting started as a craft vendor with tidbits of information I learned when I got started less than 2 years ago.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079KXGVYH Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yeah, everyone rub salt in my still fresh wounds from the dog show fiasco!!! LOL That was such a disaster. This dog festival will be a totally different atmosphere. It was funny, at my event today, the host organizers of the dog festival happened to stop by my booth and pretty much screamed HOLY COW ARE YOU AWARE WE'RE DOING A DOG FESTIVAL NEXT SATURDAY?!?!?! YOU HAVE TO COME SET UP!!!! And I said "Yep, I'm already signed up." LOL This is the first year of it, so it could be a bit disorganized, but that's fine, I'll set up my tent and wait for the hoards of furry customers to drag their humans over to take a look. ;-) meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguanadon Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Here's the description they have on their event page... WoofStock 2018 Come join Rotary and Paws-Ability as we celebrate all things dog at our first annual Woofstock party, held at Franklin Square Park in beautiful downtown Southport. We will start with a dog parade down Howe Street and then begin the festivities. The band Seneca Guns will entertain us with songs from the Summer of Love. Food trucks, dog demos, adoptable pets, and plenty of shopping from our sponsors' tents. You can even have a commemorative photo taken of you and your dog! It's going to be an all-around spectacular day, so mark your calendars now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
