I had my first show of 2013 last weekend. And I'm happy to report that it went really well! This is a show that I've done 4 or 5 times now and have great success there.
Last week I showed you how I turned a shadow box into an earring holder and display. Here it is all set up at the show. I added price tags to different sections of the display and they worked really well. Surprisingly, I don't think I had one question about pricing on things in this area! I think I'll display the bottle stoppers differently next time as they didn't get much attention, but other than that, the display worked great!
I tried this necklace display last year, but didn't like how it turned out. One of my readers mentioned that the open screen needed a back, so I added some aqua cardstock and it really helped the necklace stand out. I love how this display looks now!
I also changed how I displayed my glassware at this show. Normally I have a smaller amount of glass and I place it on the table. For this show, I chose not to put out all of my scrapbooks and used my wooden display stand for glassware. I'm happy to report that beer mugs and wine glasses were my top sellers at this show. Note to self: Bring more glasses in the fall!
I only have one more show planned for this spring. It will be my first bridal fair. So I'll be rethinking my whole display and set up. I'll only be taking along wedding themed items and everything needs to fit on one 8' table. I have a lot of work ahead of me!
So happy for you that the show was a success! I really like the way you displayed the earrings and smaller items. The bridal fair sounds fun :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic Edi! Everything looks great, and so happy that it was a success!
ReplyDeleteknow wonder the signs worked so well! And they are very attractive. If anyone comes by the blog, the signs are so familiar. The one thing I'd be scared about are the glassware, but there's not much you can do about that... {:-D
ReplyDeleteVery glad the show went so well for you Edi! Your displays look fantastic. Wishing you much luck and many sales at the bridal fair!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a successful show -- the new shadow box display looks great! I love those folding shelf systems and your glassware looks great on it! A wedding show will be right up your alley!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a great show! I can't say I'm surprised because your work is awesome! Your displays looked so nice and inviting.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear the show was a success! Your set-up looks great (such a good idea for the earring display!). When I used to vend music festivals, I remember how much easier it made everything when I clearly priced the items. I'm glad you didn't have any pricing questions. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThe glassware looks great with that display, and congrats on the top seller!
ReplyDeleteThe earrings look great on their new earring holder. I think your price labels are nice and big, easy to read (no need for questions!).
Good luck with the bridal show - only one 8' table...Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Congrats for your success. Great work!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations- that's fabulous! The bridal show should be fun and it will introduce you to a new audience.
ReplyDeletea wedding show! That's exciting!
ReplyDeleteYour display looks great!
The shadow box turned out very well. maybe something similar for the bottle stoppers.
You display looked great! Glad to hear you were so successful! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the glass display that you did this time. Also like the differing heights on the table--that always creates interest!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that things went well! Your displays look great. Best of luck preparing for the bridal fair!
ReplyDeleteYour display looks great! I like how you added color in the signs and displays to avoid too much wood tone. I must say that as a jewelry seller I cringe when I see earrings for $5 at shows because I can't compete with that! But, I understand. :)
ReplyDeleteThe jewelry displays look great! I might have to steal that earring box idea from you. Not using wood, obviously, because it would take me 900 years to punch the holes, but maybe something with covered foam board... Hmm...
ReplyDeleteThe glass display looks great! Great to hear that the show was a success.
ReplyDeleteYour glasses turned out great and the glass display shelf is a great idea. The bridal show sounds like it will be fun, I bet you will do really well.
