Weekend craft sale: Very successful!  |
|
More then successful, I have to make a ton of stuff before I can even schedule another one. Someone told me that with the economy the way it is people are buying smaller things to satisfy their need to spend a little....well they spent alot. The gal next to me too had a very good sale! Hope if any of you are doing a sale soon you have a very successful one too!

11. mermaidivy (3298) | 10 months ago | What do you sell in your yard? just craft or everything you want to get rid of? And how do you set the price? I am thinking to do a yard sale this summer too, since I never done one so I wonder what I should do. Sorry for so many questions. Thank you very much and wish you get good profit next time!:-)

jillhill (11821) | 10 months ago | This was a craft fair that was at our mall...you pay for a space. It's crafts I make and I also sell my books...I might have a yard sale with a few crafts myself this summer but I'll have to see how many other sales I can do at festivals or art fairs.

jillhill (11821) | 10 months ago | I have not done that as it's too busy to stop and try to teach someone when you have a crowd....but I did invite one of my friends a few years back and she sat in my booth and did beading....on a frame...she does wider braclets with designs in them...and she ended up getting a few orders....Good for you on reading poetry!!

jillhill (11821) | 10 months ago | I do always have a bunch of little things...and that was a great part of my sales...so if you are worried about having a bunch of big things...think smaller!

14. giftsandbagscom (12032) | 10 months ago | I will not be having a sale here till May or June. I will have all my Ten $ items made for sale. I want to have just as much sales as you did. It's nice to read such good things with the way the world is today. Good luck on your next sale.

jillhill (11821) | 10 months ago | Good for you! I think if you have some lower priced items that they can afford then it will fly...one thing I also do is go to a paper supply store...I get white bags with a handle on them (10 for two bucks)....cut out a heart and put my company logo on it....tie it to the handle with curly ribbon and put matching tissue paper in the bag...they love it when they get a nice bag....I hear it all the time! Such a little gesture brings them back...makes them feel special.

15. creationsbyrobin (1817) | 10 months ago | That's great! The show I did last week was not very well attended, but those that did come to the show, were buying handmade items. The show wasn't bad and I've done other shows with many of the vendors, so there was much chatting and info sharing about future shows... I made more than 3x my fees, so in all, not a waste of time.
I'm glad to hear you did so well....don't you love shows when you have so very little to pack up at the end of the day? Of course that means you have a bunch of hours to put in at your craft table... but it must've been a great feeling to walk out with a good deal of $$!

jillhill (11821) | 10 months ago | THe gal next to me and I did very good...others didn't fair as well. First of all I think crafter need to bring their crafts and tables up a notch...I saw some very messy presentations of their products...I also don't think that walmart bag belong at craft sales...I consider my tables to be a traveling boutique....so I have nice table coverings...nice bags.....and I dress up! By Sunday though I did see some ladies down a bit from me wearing jackets and nice clothes instead of the sweatshirts they had been wearing. I think if crafters want to be successful it's time to make sure they are presenting themselves as artisians.....Its' just my opinion.

16. KrauseHome (13463) | 9 months ago | Well, I have made Potholders in the past, and have done quite well with them. There for a while I was selling them faster than I could make them even. But I have not really tried selling Craft type items since I had some of my craft items in a Craft consignment type shop. I have bought Yarn again with hopes of being able to make and sell potholders again, but just never gotten around to considering getting them made as well.
