A decent sow is better than the alternative. Congratulations…..it could have been worse.

Glad to hear it went well Monte. I hear ya about the unique aspect. It is something my wife an I strive for at a show. The amount of people at the shows with Jewelry is kinda scary sometimes. The only other person at my show last week with wood was a gentleman that has been there for a number of years and does scrollsaw work. Very nice stuff.
We’ll have to see about this weekend coming up.

Good to hear that you made some sales Monte.

-- Grumpy old guy, and lookin' good Doin' it.

Glad to hear you sold some items. Does make it easier to continue to go to them. But, I suppose that with time you also learn what will and will not sell at a particular show

-- Norman

it’s all abought finding your nich. i do bridal shows .and i am always the only one with a wood product that most people have never seen before.

I am also glad to hear you did well at your show Monte. I would imagine that you are planning to do many more. It seems common across the board to see many jewelers at most shows…as well as painters and photographers.

Another point, it’s not just that there were numerous jewelry vendors. You can have multiple vendors doing jewelry, or wood. But yours has to be unique from the others.

I’m so glad that I put my own unique spin on my boxes, I’ve been to shows where there might be one other bandsaw box maker only they aren’t like mine.

I’ve just recently viewed a you-tube video where by pricing an item to low can deter a sell, so by raising the price that item sells but raising it to high can also be a deterrent so you have to find that median.

It’s one of those things like being in the right place at the right time sort of thing. A certain person has to be looking for that certain thing it seems anymore. Glad you did ok. I’m sure our economy has lots to do with it. Folks just don’t have extra in their wallets

Roger I think that’s where the uniqueness of the creation comes in, ya have to make it so that they have to have it. LOL

i always try to never make two the same—being unique is key and good workman ship. always have a full table with pieces mixed together. makes them look.
