How much product?

[cuteasabutton]

So I think that I've finally mustered up the courage to do my first craft sale and it will be happening on May 31st so about 2 weeks time!

I'm wondering how much stuff to take. I do it as I have time...with two wee ones at home, I find it difficult to find the time. I don't have a lot of bows but do have a fair share of clips and ponytail holders.

It is a mom to mom sale...one day only...5 hours long.

I don't want to take too little...how much should I take?

I have noticed at the craft shows- most people bring the large bows. I do VERY well because I bring mostly clippies. I try to bring the largest assortment I have available (like 3-5 of each type of clip I know how to make) Some shows people want all pink and brown clippies, some shows people want all strawberries. I never know what show will want what.

I did a show when I first started- and didn't bring that much with me. I still did very well- but because I was limited, I missed a few sales.

Thanks Amber! So did you run out? I don't have a *ton* of stuff but I want to bring enough...should I put my HB on kid watch and try to accomplish some?

Can someone give me an approx. number of what to bring?

I don't know if you saw my pics.. they should be in the carft show area of the forum.

I try and bring atleast 20 simple lined clips, 20 lined clips with bows, 3 of each critter clip, atleast 3 small 2 inch boutique bows of each color I have, 10 large bows (stacked or loopy) and then fill in with other snap clippies and what not.

That would be my BARE min. to take with me. I become a bit crazy before a show- and ended up taking over 400 clips. I think I sold about 100 of them.
