How many bows do you take to shows??

Don't freak out, but start working now!!!! omg that is a big show. And I was worried about 2 shows with 50,000 each. You will have a great show! How much time do you have until then?

How I figured it, was if half of 1% of the people there, each buy 1 bow, that is about 1000 bows right? Just adjust the numbers for your clientele and it should give you an estimate.

I still have to do pony-o's and Christmas stacked bows, and Basic Christmas bows.... And about 100 other things on my to do list!!!! This show I am doing is supposed to see about 200,000 people, and I am just realizing that that is ALOT of people, so I am starting to freak out a little....... Do y'all think I have enough so I can relax and not freak out this week?

Ok-- more freaking out for me!!!!! The show was only $50, so maybe I will sell out!!!!!!
I am going to get to work right now!!!!

Should I worry about bow holders and tutu's this week, or just crank out more bows??? Also, I ahve solid basic bows done, and some stacked bows, should I do more stacked bows with the economy like it is, or more basic solid bows???? I need advise ladies-- y'all have scared me

I personally think basic bows will sell more than stacked w the economy except for Xmas - a mom may think "holiday=special occassion=splurge a little bit" but for everyday they may have say $20 and feel that getting 4 bows @$5 each is better than 2 stacked.

I bring 300-400 bows in addition to clips, pony o's, headbands, tutus and bow holders.

I'm selling a lot more solid color, go with everything, type bows, but it's the novelty stuff that gets them to stop and look.

I wonder if there will even be any bows at shows this yr with the new CPSIA laws.
