Lookd like a very nice display. Do you get more sales at the show or from people following up with you?

Thanks for the comments. Wayne, I hand out lots of brochures and answer questions at the shows. Very few impulse buys. I am at this particular show every week and most of my sales come from people who have seen my stuff over a period of time and ask questions, save up the money and then order. I am getting farily consistent business as the weather has warmed up here in CA. I build to order and have these items as a sample of my work.

Eddy, I didnt notice your car. That’s funny.
Mcchairs, The banner is a good Idea. I paid $80.00 for mine. Cheap way for people to see who you are and what you are doing. I suggest making up some brochures on what you make and get a resale license if you don’t already have one. Many show organizers require them. The first couple of shows I did, I spent very little money. I wanted to see what would sell and check with other vendors to see what is needed. The small items on the side table are cheap little Christmas decorations that I used to draw people to my booth. I sold a bunch of those little things so I could pay the space for the booth even if I did’nt get any chair orders. Small inexpensive items sell well and the bigger stuff will come as you become known in the area. Good Luck.
