Wichman Posted November 30, 2023 Author Report Posted November 30, 2023 The show was a disappointment. Overall sales were okay, but the vast majority of the sales were made in 2 hrs on Saturday (between 1 and 3 pm). Sunday's sales were 10% of Saturdays sales. At least 40% of my sales were to other vendors, it's great that they are supporting me, but that's a really bad sign for the show. Sigh, there's always next year. Quote
Joe W. Posted November 30, 2023 Report Posted November 30, 2023 Was it a place you usually set up at? If so, perhaps the usual people who go there already have purchased the things they like in the past. That was the experience I had last year at a Farmers Market where I started selling. The first Sunday there I did almost $300. The following Sunday sales became less and less each time. Limited customer base was my situation. Quote
Wichman Posted December 1, 2023 Author Report Posted December 1, 2023 This was an annual show in the town I live in (pop 60,000). A number of the attendees' also go the the Farmers market I was selling at, so there is some crossover. My most expensive item sold was $20, and I sold a bunch of them. I know that many of the major retailers are panicking because black Friday just didn't happen. I went to Wal-mart Monday to get a new phone and the black Friday deals were still in effect, in years past if you missed BF you were just SOL. It's a brave new world out there, and we're just going to have to adapt. Quote
