I actually had two shows this week. That's a first for me!

| Sports Team Beer Mugs |
Even though I didn't make any sales, I still consider this show a success and will plan to do it again next year. Knowing that people aren't really planning on buying at this type of show, I might take less items and not do a full set up.

| Wine Charms - Wine Sayings Set 1 |
My other show was this past Saturday. It's a show I've done for 5 or 6 years now and have done pretty well. This was my best year by far and I sold almost 4 times as much as I did last year! And I had an awesome space! I'm kicking myself for not getting photos...ugh! This building hosts wedding receptions, so there is a stage where the DJ or band usually sets up. I had the entire stage to myself! It's only about 6" off the ground, so people were still able to browse from the floor with no trouble. And I was able to stretch out my items a little more. We had great traffic and I was so happy to have ample space!
I sold a nice mix of items. And my jewelry did really well at this show, which made me super happy!
All of my shows this year were great. I loving getting out and being able to talk to people about my products. And getting them in the local eye is always great!
But that being said, I'm glad to be done for the season! Now it's time to focus on holiday orders and adding LOTS of new items to my shop :)
That is awesome news Edi!
ReplyDeleteDisplaying your glass items in the wine&spirits section at the grocery store is fabulous :)
Congrats on two great events! I really like the sunburst earrings. TFS!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time at both shows. CONGRATS on your best year so far, and for beating last year by so much!! That is AWESOME! Love your wine charms and those earrings are great.
ReplyDeletecongrats! and loving the wine charms
ReplyDeleteSounds like two lovely events! Did you just luck out with the stage space or did the give it to you for seniority reasons? Sellin 4 times what you did last year is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I believe networking opportunities are such a benefit...even though you do not get the instant gratification of sales.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! You'll have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWow those earrings are so adorable! Well done at the shows. I am linking up via Monday Mantras so come over and say hi.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the success of your events! Sometimes networking is just as important as sales. It's great that you had both in one week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great show. Four times as well as the previous year!? WOW! Good luck on your holiday orders!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on you shows. Having a whole stage to display would be awesome. Good luck with your holiday orders.

Congrats on all of your success this week! It's wonderful to have new networking opportunities, and it's so satisfying to do better than the year before at a great show. I look forward to seeing your new shop items for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It sounds like you had a fun and productive week! I've never done a show but I've shopped at plenty and I know it must take a lot to prep for and work them. Glad it was worth the effort!
ReplyDeleteThose sunburst earrings are darling.
Congrats on a successful weekend! Those earrings are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting about having your glassware on display in the liquor department! I hope this brings you many orders!
ReplyDeleteWow, Edi! That's wonderful!
