I will definitely do that again next year!

When I sell in galleries, it always help to have a couple wow factor pieces on display. I think it makes people want a piece of you, so to speak and be more willing to part with their money to have that piece. Good luck with next year!!Marsha Wiest-Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481754729084714643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420560170847970278.post-2028213468287684052013-12-11T07:33:34.521-06:002013-12-11T07:33:34.521-06:00sorry you didn't sell as well as last year. I...sorry you didn't sell as well as last year. It's difficult to predict what makes the booth work. I sold two journals in my bazaar and a lot of little things. The smaller items kept me going, but it was really the journals that brought the total sales up. I agree on bringing the higher price items. Maybe just lay out one or two pricey necklaces, and when they talk about another color, pull that out from behind the table! I know you're super organized, so could manage that! {:-Dstorybeaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401051545867204851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420560170847970278.post-10534499203937672212013-12-11T07:27:18.238-06:002013-12-11T07:27:18.238-06:00I got away from doing shows this year, but in the ...I got away from doing shows this year, but in the past I had some similar struggles. All of my items are pretty reasonably priced, but I'd always get people flocking to the $5 earrings and $9 rings. WTF?! It's like they had laser eyes to find the cheapest things on the table.Paige @ Little Nostalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978050087934003216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420560170847970278.post-10215942129634217322013-12-10T19:57:05.285-06:002013-12-10T19:57:05.285-06:00You're seriously on the ball here planning for...You're seriously on the ball here planning for 2014...way to go! I agree that higher-end items are nice to have mixed in. Even if they don't sell, they attract buyers to your booth. But I also agree about being annoyed when you answer 100 questions about an item and it never sells!<br />And you're so right about well-run/advertised shows. I'm glad you have a good line-up for next year already.Memories for Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677127617656258362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420560170847970278.post-39101510243135697932013-12-10T12:35:42.822-06:002013-12-10T12:35:42.822-06:00Your bracelet display is beautiful!

I sold six bracelets at my first one so have none left that are made up for Thursday's show. I have several bracelets not completed since I sell them made to order in my shop. I think I need to make more 'ready to ship' items so that I do have some for next year's shows. It's just so hard getting ready for shows plus keep sane!BeadedTailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662802836032167316noreply@blogger.com
