My first show (pics)

[danicloud]

So my first show was a consignment sale. I probably sold $100 worth, but did not make much since the table fee was $60. It was a great experience though and nice to see what people liked. I did not have a ton of inventory out since I found that it could be overwhelming. I started taking down and remembered I had no pictures. I did have bows on cards scattered nicely on the table. I am debating if it will be worth it to do another show. People seemed to like my stuff, but not a lot of sales. Next time I will definately take credit cards. I would love everyone's input.

Sorry the pics are not the best quality. They were just quick snapshots.

Try again. This is the first time I have posted pictures like this. Not sure how to do it. I just did the links now.

It looks great! I love the lil rhinestone bows/clips!!! I have a show this weekend and hoping that I do okay....if I make more than my booth fee then I think it is better than what I started with I am addicted to doing shows now.....almost like a rush lol! Congrats on your first show!!!

I like your little bow frames looks great

Looks good - the only piece of advice I would give - is....get overwhelmed! You want to actually overwhelm your customers with choices and items! Pack your booth or table or spot with as many things as you can, just make sure it is neat and easy to look at. Not messy.

I love your frames!

If you want to make shows worth your while you are going to need a LOT more stock. The amount that you have is just not going to cut it. Your stuff is REALLY cute, so just get to work getting more colors/styles.

Thanks everyone for your input. I appreciate it. Keep it coming! Sounds like I need to get more product on my table. I am doing a home and gift show November 7th-9th. They take a % though. I will make sure to have more stuff out then.

I love my frames too, but I have not sold one! Not sure why?! They are priced at $15.

I really love the items you are selling! I agree with the other girls....fill those tables up! Your bowholders are precious- love the zebra one. I wish I could paint like that!! Those glitter clippes are very cute too, they look a little wider than 3/8" ribbon - I love them!
