[Nfb-krafters-korner] My first Craft show of the year

[Brandy W]

I sell Discovery Toys at craft shows, and have seen a lot of them. Some are
going to be good, and some aren't. Some people love it others do not. One
thing that sometimes helps is at the end of the day I'll give away 1 free
bar at the end of the day. To enter you need to make 1 purchase no minimums.

Good luck!

I guess the words that sum it up best are blah, yuck, never again. It was at
a high school, so I thought my handmade soaps and bath products would go
over really well there. Ha ha yeah right. People wanted everything for
nothing. This one woman actually asked if I had buy one get one free deals,
because at $3.50 for a 4 ounce bar of homemade soap with all the ingredients
you could possibly wat, that was just too high. 
I informed her politely that no, I did not offer those kinds of promotions.
Then another woman asked me what was the difference between my tubes of
homemade flavored lip balm and chapstick. Well, let's see, ultra
moisturizing, flavored really well, and not a whole cocktail of chemicals.
Not good enough. So to make a long story short, it was a bust. I barely made
my table back, which is I guess at least something. 
And the ironic part is the people that bought from me were the ones I
invited to the craft show. Have a great week and hope you have better
success with your craft endeavors. Watch out for the crazy blind lady with
the dolly. I have another show in 3 weeks. lol Charlotte
