Well if yall read about my crappy show you know I was down and out well I had my very first homeshow last night. Theere were 9 moms there in just under two hours I made 420.00 plus I booked 3 shows and a badge reel party for my mom. I will tell us I had NOT planned well at all I really didn't know what to do lol BUT I didn't need to the ladies came in and just went crazy over everything lol

That's very exciting. At least it makes up a little for the stinky show. Hopefully you'll do even better at the next parties! Good luck.

i have my first home show in a couple weeks, can i ask how much stuff you brought? did you take custom orders? i don't have a ribbon sample chart (because rr is out of them) so should i bring my ribbon for them to look at???? ahhh i am freaking out!!!!!!!! LOL!!! i want my show to go that well!! i just placed an order for $150 worth of supplies and i really need to make that back and more!!! thanks and congratulations on your great show!

Yippeee!!!!!

That is wonderful!

I have only done home shows so far (I take the craft show plunge next week) and have done well with them. Like I said before, I had one lady drop $160 on my stuff without batting an eye It seems the ladies at these home parties WANT to and PLAN to spend money, where maybe craft show goers are looking for the best deal?!

How are you feeling?

Awesome!! so glad u had a successful show after ur bad one! if i didnt make bows and ran into someone like u who did i woulld go nuts buying stuff too!!

[nicole29]

aww thanks girls!! I actaully revamped my set up! I am still going to use grids for shows, BUT instead of pegs, I bought clear shoe bags, and bow boards, I put all my clippies on the bow boards (without cards) and all my bows and stuff in the shoe bags, set up literally takes me 15 min, as opposed to 3 hours it is FANTASTIC! Then when I am done, I just fold up the shoe bags, but them in a tote and off I go, it works WONDERFUl for home shows too! I really think I am going to focus on the home shows, you figure there is NO overhead (other then the 80.00 in free product she will be getting, if you break it down, at MOST I am losing 20 bucks!! ) But seriously these ladies went CRAZY running to buy, filling their baskets the the max lol it was SO much fun!!!

I'd love to see a visual of your set up also. Congrats on such a successful show!!! I wonder if there would be interest in this in my area.
