Melly Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I finally got the courage to go and get myself a booth at our local farmers market. I will be selling there starting next saturday, luckily it is an indoor market. This is my first time selling, and IM soooo nervous!! Any advice fron anyone whos done markets before? I scoped it out, no candles, no b&b, only one lady who had a few bars of very plain CP soap. Wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairieannie Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 No advice for you, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that all goes well. I'm sure it will...what will you be taking to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melly Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Votives, Soap, Bath Bombs, Lip Balms. I am hoping to have a few more jar candles ready to go in a few weeks, but right now they are still testing, and im not going to rush it . I might also put together some bath salts and a few other simple items to take along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredith_D Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Good luck, you'll do fine. Don't forget to check the craft show sticky at the top of this section. Let us know how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I did my first craft show last weekend and I was nervous at first. Once I got there, though, it was a piece of cake. I really like to be amongst people so all I did was smile and initiate conversation with whomever entered my display. Smiles really help the sales, I think. Nobody wants to visit a grumpy vendor! I am sure you will do fine. Believe in your product and others will, too!! Let us know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc26 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 If you are going alone and don't have someone to look after your booth make friends with your neighbors! They will come in handy when you need to potty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
