Can I ask what were the top sellers that people bought?? Thanks for showing. My biggest seller for the season was a medicine box. Nothing else really stood out. I did four holiday shows and each show it seemed like something different was the best seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Thanks Dave your boxes are always nice to look at. I bet though there has to be one item over periods of years selling stood out and made you continue to keep making. Those are the tried and true projects that stand the test of time. I do know how shows can be fickle. Some people can make items they think would be good sellers and then make $5 ornaments and they sell out every year. Just the nature of the hobby.

This is only my second holiday season here in Texas so I don't have a good feel yet. Three years prior I did the Farmers Market in Bloomington, IL. Sports items were a big thing there. Not so much for me here. Inlayed boxes and puzzles have sold in both places well. I will say that when I started renting two spaces and widened my selection my sales almost doubled. The cost for two 6 x 10 booths at this show is $300 for Saturday and Sunday. A lot of money to spend up front but it was well worth it.

wombatie Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Fabulous display. I love the one that says, Home is where the cat hair is except on the cat. You deserve to do well with all the hard work you put into your art. Marg dgman and Dave Monk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea the number attended the show? Ron, It was at a High School with over two hundred vendors. I can't begin to guess how many attended. All I can say is there were thousands. It is free to the public so they don't keep track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcdennis Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Very nice set up. I have similar Display panels and I know they can be a pain to haul around. Good job. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennisfm56 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Wow, what a display and set-up. Transporting, set-up, and tear down would be enough to exhaust me. Rest well. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
