LMFAOAnyways- I will take pics but I can gaurantee that my table will look nothing like the pros of CT. What I can do is ask for advice for the next one! :-)Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcroome2005 Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Just got back. Did awesome. Made money and got 1 wholesale account and 1 fundraiser out of the deal. :yay: My biggest seller was my cinnamon buns that I make. Sold completly out of them. The # 1 in tarts/votives was Celtic Moon Spice. The # 1 jar scent was Moonlight Path. The # 1 Pillar scent was Falling Leaves. # 1 soap was the massage bars and it was LLC. I am pissed that I picked up 3 tablecloths and only 1 was the correct size. I didn't look at the other two behind the first one and I guess they were in the wrong spot. They fit the table, just you could see the boxes underneath. GRRRRRRRRRRRR I have pictures that I will share either later tonight or tomorrow. I am so tired.

dcroome2005 Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Ok, in this thread, you can tear me up and spit me out. LOL I need all positive and negative responses ( to a point). I know about the tablecloth ( just got wrong sizes). I really wanted to put cloth over the risers but hubby wanted to leave them plain. What do you think? Please be honest with me. Oh- on the index cards - I left my nice ( printed out) price sheets at home, so I had to use index cards that I had in my storage box :-( I ended up taking them up about an hour into the show and just told people the prices because I thought they looked aweful!I am thinking I need more risers????ThanksChristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleOH Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Great job! I love the color of the table clothes. And of course you know the clothes look much better when it goes to the floor. I personally would have put some fabric on your risers. Maybe a complimentary color to your table clothes. Nothing to busy...we don't want to distract from your product. I love your jars:yay:. And yes more height on the table the better. Maybe bring in some silk mums or something.Oh, an idea for pricing(this is what I do) I use 2x3 silver frames for each item and place them near the product.By the way, I'm so glad you did well. I know you have been working hard. Oh, and I love your jeans. You Rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Congratulations on the show! Your setup looks nice, but a little more height would be nice. I don't know about covering the risers; I just don't like that they're such high steps, but just my opinion there. Maybe see how they look covered? The risers I have need to be covered, but the fabric does slip around some, so that's something to keep in mind too. It's a shame about the table cloths, but it doesn't sound like it kept people from buying. Your products look great! I like the arrangement of your products and the leaves here and there!

SuzieE Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Wow Christina it looks like you have a mile of tables. Looks great.I agree on the risers also, but, it sure doesn't sound like you lacked sales because of any height lacking in you display. Everything looks really nice.

cindym Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Glad the show went well Chritina, I agree with Michelle but you have a good start there. You must be so excited about the wholesale accoount and the fundraiser, table couldn't have looked that bad, the products obviously sell themselves.

SoapInTheCity Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 It looks so awesome! What a shame you forgot your signs but it didn't seem to matter! Those cinnamon buns looks so great! MMMMM..........You look cute in your apron and gorgeous pink shirt! I think the apron makes you look professional. I think that is a good idea!

Brandies22 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I think that your table set up looks good, all you need is longer table coverings, i'm glad that you did well , congrats. on the fundraiser and the wholesale account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowded House Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 You did a lovely job grouping your products. I don't think you need more height precisely because of the way you grouped them.I do think you should cover the risers, though, or at least spray paint them so they aren't as obviously cardboard.

candlesprite7 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Christina, Glad you did well! That's excellent! Yep definitely put something over the risers but otherwise I liked the table!Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
