ebcandles Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 You would think that a craft show featuring 120 vendors would attract a BIG crowd, NOT!Attendance was horrible! I couldnt believe my eyes! All in all I think I did very well considering there were no buyers. Here are the highlights.- One man asked me what were the benefits of soy. After my big speal, he says "thats it"? I felt like kicking him out of my booth. AFTER he bought 3 soy balmoral candles of course!- A young girl walks up to my booth and I ask her if she would like to sample my tropical sunrise soy lotion. She goes and grabs her mom to see if its okay. Mom ends up buying 5 bars of soap, woohooo!- Husband comes to booth first. Falls in love with the pumpkin pie soy candles. Goes to grap wife who LOVES pumpkin pie. She ends up buying 2 vanilla and one apple. GO FIGURE!Here are some pics. Dont mind the guy in the background. Obviously, he wanted me to photograph him or he would have moved out of the way.Oh, forgot to mention, this place had some very loud CHRISTMAS music playing all day. I've heard of Christmas in July. But Christmas in August? C'mon, its still 4 months away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scent Cellar Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Carmen...I think everyone is busy getting the kids ready for school and winding up summertime functions so maybe those are the reasons for small attendance at the craft fair.I see some of the soaps are nakid and some are in boxes. How do you decide which ones to box and which one not to box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Sorry you had low attendance. With the end of summer and beginning of the school year folks probably weren't up for Xmas music. Love your candles. The colors are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'm so sorry to here that the show was poorly attended. It can be a difficult time with many on last hurrah vacation before school starts and other tapped out due buying all the school supplies and clothes for the kiddie before they go back!Please don't tell me they played Christmas music at this show! I'd run the other way if they did that!BTW, was this show advertised? Maybe that was the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgirl Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Your display is very nice!! Your products look great! I think ScentCeller has a point with school, everyone is just trying to get them ready, so don't fret!! I bet your next show will be so much better!!

Fairy_Light Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Your products and boot look awesome... I think it looks great. Sad to hear you didn't have very many customers but like stated above school starting might have a lot to do with it. It by no means was your fault though. Great job HUGs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Bummer. Christmas music, ack! Your balmoral display looks great - changing to colors has really made that side of the table pop with color - very eye catching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticglow Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Sorry to hear that the show didn't go well. And I have to agree it's way too early for Christmas music. Your booth looks great and your products look awsome. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
