I was so discouraged Saturday. I hosted a PC table at a fundraiser for my grandsons' local nursery school (I was the only direct sales table) on Saturday. I did this same event last spring and had about $600 in orders. In November they had a holiday sales event with about 15 other vendors. I brought in more profit than all the others together (just under $1000 in sales).
I did about the same display and had about the same location at the outside event, but fear the economy has finally hit us -- it appears we'll have barely over the $150 minimum limit (and I always give an extra 5%). I even had more signs up this time.
To my delight, I did get one booking at that show from an MK lady I met in November. Then, I got a call last night from a relative of one of the ladies who has bought at the last two FRs, but not at this one. She is booking her first ever PC show for:chef: a ladies night out this weekend!
So, I am very happy for the new contacts this FR Flop, or not, has brought me.
