Making the Most of My Craft Show: Lessons Learned!

[flame_chick]

I had fun, and only got nervous right before I started talking. BUT I had hardly any show up.. I invited 45 people.. I got about $420 in sales, and I am wanting to bump it up, but the deadline is creeping up soon.. like today.. My mom, my brother, my sister-in-law, my husbands aunt, and my bosses wife.. 1 co worker ordered a large round stone, and my aunt placed an order outside the show.. I did have fun, so I can't wait to do my next show, I have 3 shows booked for Sept so far, and hoping another..
I am trying to hit up my dad... but he is single, so I dinno what he'd used since he eats out alot.. any suggestions?

Excellent job!You did great! I haven't had my first show yet (9/9) so I'm nervous from all of the waiting. One of the 2 people who have actually RSVP'd is much like your father and doesn't cook for herself. There's a file on here somewhere called "I don't cook" (search the "files" area) with all kinds of suggestions, some of which are really funny.

can you point me to the "I don't cook"

See if your dad will order the large round stone and then the rack to go with. Great for heating up those takeout leftovers & frozen pizzas

My dad LOVES the Large round stone - because it makes frozen pizza taste like "real" pizza! (his words) -
What sold me on the round stone was that I can reheat Applebee's French Fries (a love teetering on obsession for me!) and they taste just like they do at the restaurant!

That is a great 1st show. I barely made $150 with my 1st show and only then because my mother gave me a list and said "order as needed to bring any shows up to qualifying". I felt so pathetic.
