I had my open house Saturday with another vendor. It was a huge success!!! There were around 45 people in and out for the day. I ended up with over $500 in Sales. I also got to bookings lined up. I did the Bingo game (sell a square for $2) Then I gave away $60 in free products that was a easy way to get a $60 order! I just wanted to share with everyone!

Thanks for all of the ideas that I got from here!
