k0mptec Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I did a small Fall Fastival at the Kindergarden on Thursday, it was a 2 hour event. I made 4x my booth fee so I was pretty stoked and felt it was good for my first time... There really were not alot of attendees either and I was the only vendor with handmade stuff. I also got a pretty big candle order the next morning!!! I handed out fliers with my contact info on it to everyone who walked by so I hope to get more calls! Here are pics!I welcome constructive critism or ideas on improvement!ETA: I forgot the labels I had made for the tart buckets so I had to had write the ones you see... I hated doing that because it really clashed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idacandlelady Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I really like your display. What do you use for risers for your candles?I have been thinking about those containers for melts but wasn't sure how it would look. Really doesn't look too bad.

Really doesn't look too bad.I actually had my FIL build them, it didnt take too long either, I covered them in the pumpkin fabric... I will switch up acording to seasons!The gladware containers were a cheap way to go and I like them too, they have the 5 on the bottom so I just store them with the lids on top!

k0mptec Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 The best thing about the risers is that they cost NADA!! My MIL does woodcrafts and we used wood scraps they had laying about! We built them like you would build steps.... I love the risers too! Thank you for all your compliments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Your whole presentation looks very nice and inviting. I wouldn't change a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 That looks REALLY nice, especially for your first time. I'm glad you did well, and the best part is your first show is over and now on to the next. How did your tarts sell? Did you let people mix and match and pick their own? I'm just curious, cuz I have never sold tarts yet, but I was thinking of displaying them similarly and letting people get their own out with tongs or whatever.

k0mptec Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Michi, I think they sold better than they would have had they been pre packaged... they didn't fly off the table but they did O.K. I think they liked the option to pick and choose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovescents Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Lovely display! I really like your presentation. Congratulation on doing so well on your first show. May I ask what kind of mold you used for your diamond tarts and where did you get them? More success to your candle business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flcandles Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Congrats on doing your first show and doing well .Your set up is just perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy5140 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Your tarts, Do you just put them 1 bag together when sold??I package mine, and packaging tons of Melts are a PIMA.Your display looks really nice.Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k0mptec Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 The tarts are mini ice molds! I bought them off the classys here and I bag up the scents seperately when sold, I can see where it would be a PITA to package them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Your display looks great...congrats on a good 1st show.Is that your baby as your avatar? Sooo cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I stopped selling individual tarts and firestarters because I would get people that wanted to buy just one. I would get so frustrated. I also used to sell potpourri by the scoop and customers would want to buy just a half a scoop. I just stopped it because making 50 cents here and there wasn't worth it to me. It really got ridiculously stupid and now I package everything and I do alot better at making money.

k0mptec Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Kandle, The baby was an avatar I found and thought was cute, he def. reminds me of mine who is now 8 months, it seems like just yesterday I had him and now he is trying to walk...sighHeaven, I didn't have anyone ask about buying one, they all mixed and matched till they had 3 or 5! That would frustrating to sell a tart at a time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
