I had things up to $400 but they were barely getting a glance. Roughly 60 transactions across 4 days, 90% were gifts.<br /><br />Based on info from other artists - when they got a better booth location sales went up by 30 - 50%. Check back next year and see if I see the same thing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834332676754567562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4255014677398623285.post-88722122701955578222012-12-17T06:06:06.278-08:002012-12-17T06:06:06.278-08:00Amy
Thank you so much for a truly heart felt revie...Amy<br />Thank you so much for a truly heart felt review about the emotional side to doing a huge risk show like this.<br />I too, considered it but the HUGE booth fees scared me away and we also have a much smaller price point, average $35 so planning 4 times the inventory literally gave me the shakes.<br />If you had to guess, what price range would you say seemed to be successful from you and your neighbors. I would like an exhibitors view point, not management lies about what really transacted at a show like this.<br />Thank you again, your posts were fun and educational to read,<br />Susanthe Muzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009114119766891430noreply@blogger.com
