Either people are not buying at the art shows, or they are too expensive. Hopefully, in the fall, I will be in a few local shows.

I don't have a "good" season though, Spring can be okay for those looking for a bag for the new season.<br />And the online thing - definite double edged sword :P<br />I can see the advantage of doing the Spring if only to have a fall spot - it's worth it :)TiLThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569608376145813091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-39458966247162694152011-04-18T14:27:33.299-05:002011-04-18T14:27:33.299-05:00I'm doing one on Saturday - it'll be my fi...I'm doing one on Saturday - it'll be my first one this spring!roseworksjewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221186638823662696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-86202265433267212692011-04-18T13:28:41.047-05:002011-04-18T13:28:41.047-05:00I haven't done a spring show for obvious reaso...I haven't done a spring show for obvious reasons but a friend wants me to do one over Mothers Day weekend at a local mall. It's 4 days so I'm not going to do it. There's no way I'd have enough inventory ready and I'm so tired of sitting I'm not going to sit in a booth at a mall for that long either. <br /><br />I do like how you have your pendants displayed too and wish I could see them closer!

One show I ...I haven't done a spring show yet. One show I did last year was in the summer and two were in the fall. My summer show was actually the best. It was much bigger than the other two.<br /><br />I don't know anyone who's had a lot of luck with spring shows, for many of the reasons that you named. When I get to Milwaukee, I'm planning to go to a lot more shows the first year than I do so I can get an idea what is worth doing.<br /><br />I hope that you do get some custom orders from the shows. I've had the same problem with having a web site, and it's hard to know how that will pan out.Rose Clearfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334598119125293424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-60562432692512901602011-04-18T10:27:33.619-05:002011-04-18T10:27:33.619-05:00Like Duni, I like how you arranged your pendants.
...Like Duni, I like how you arranged your pendants.<br /><br />The only time I did a spring show it was deplorable. My mom loves going to shows but even I have noticed that she spends more in the summer and fall. I think she is still recovering from everything she bought at Christmas which accounts for her purchasing habits.<br /><br />Also, my mom WILL buy for herself. In fact, shows are about her and not really for others:) She is that one that throws everything you think you know out---I always knew she was difficult!Erika https://www.blogger.com/profile/02042799019418411409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-86587694000276896342011-04-18T10:11:48.476-05:002011-04-18T10:11:48.476-05:00Wow, three shows in the spring?

I'm sticking with summer and fall/holidays.Paige @ Little Nostalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978050087934003216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595462995395752860.post-13085448951427790852011-04-18T09:34:13.437-05:002011-04-18T09:34:13.437-05:00Wow, your third show already?!

Classy.<br />You make a good point about having an online shop. Never thought of it that way.<br />Wishing you continued success!Dunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273071467750510363noreply@blogger.com
