anabanana's candles Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I have my first craft show on Saturday. I had thought that I would not bring with me any scents that weren't fall or Christmas types. I didn't think that people would buy springy scents around the holidays. To you veterans. should I bring some other scents as well or stick to the holidays ones. I think that I have 12 or so scents that I am bringing.

Sally Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I would definately take some others, not everyone buys seasonally so you may well catch a customer you could have missed by only taking the fall/ christmas types.Sally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieannie Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have sold more lilac and sweet pea scents for Christmas presents than I ever would have thought possible! Take everything you have~ you just never know! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have my first in November and I'm definately taking some non-seasonal scents.It's my first time 'out there' with the paying public, so I want them to see what else I have to offer. Others that I'm not taking, I'll take a few melts in that scent so they can smell and order call it a 'sniff n buy' lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Take 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlelady Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yes, definitely take all that you can! People are buying Christmas gifts now, and they won't necessarily purchase fall/holiday scents as gifts. I sell tons of springy scents this time of year!Good luck!Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 People can't find the spring or summer scents right now, so if they see them they will buy them up. I think it might be because they have been saving money for Christmas presents. I stopped giving Christmasy stuff years ago because people could only bring them out for the holidays. I want something they can sit out all year around. So take what you have plus holiday scents. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Candelishis Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Take 'em.Ditto. I sell more Love Spell candles than Christmas anything. Girls in their 20's come over and go "OH MY GOD! This lady has love spell candles!!!! Check it out!!! I should get one for ~whoever~ for Christmas!!!" and they buy them up as fast as I can stock them. If you don't have it there, that girl who just LOVES the love spell (or whateverkind) candles will probably just walk on by. I always make sure I have at least 2-3 of EVERYTHING I sell, and I have a little sign that says "Can't find the size of candle you want? Ask me, I'll ship it to you" and for craft shows, I will generally ship thing to people for free. If you do something nice for them for that first sale, they'll come back.
