Mannie Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi every one I have a quick question. How do you keep track of sales at a craft show? care to share your method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I just do a running total on a note pad. I also have an inventory sheet and try to cross off items as they sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Mine is pretty simple I inventory before a show at the show on a note pad I have a general list Like thisPillars8 oz containerSingle MeltMelts DealSo on and so forth I put a mark under the appropriate place during the show After the show I inventory and cross reference my sales. That make it easy to see how much you are making during show. All you have to do is count up your marks at any given time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I do same as above but keep it in an excel spreadsheet which I print for the show. When show is over I enter my sales in each category so I don't have so much paperwork to keep filed.I tried doing by scent but it got out of hand so categories became easiest for me.

Mannie Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks everyone for your ideas. I have a show in October just preparing. for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I have my inventory in my square app, and when I make a sale (CC or cash) it gets recorded in square and when the show is over I just print up the report. It gives me everything I need - category, scent, product, price point, profit and tax (the tax is built into the price, but square has a feature that you tell it that, and it will calculate the tax for you - pretty sweet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannie Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 That sounds neat. I Just got square not fully set up yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
