In October, I am doing an event where they highly recommend we do cash and carry. It's put on by the library (the cost of my booth, only $25), and they are piggy-backing off of 2 other events (an antique car show and a craft fair). They all bring in their own crowds and all 3 events share advertising and even shuttle people around to them. The organizer said that this is their 4th year doing it and it always draws a big crowd, and the crowd loves to shop.
So...how do I go about ordering cash and carry? Do I buy them as a non-commission order and then I'm selling them at catalog price? Or do I buy them on a show order? In my name?
Also, since a lot of people for the car show part are from out of the area, I'm wondering how I should handle any orders, should I get them.
One more thing, if there's going to be a Tastefully Simple booth w/ cash and carry, what do you think I should have on hand? I was thinking rubs and sprinkles and dipping oils, but not sure if that's not a good idea since TS is competition. I've read other suggestions in other threads to have things like: SB, mini serving spat., mix n chops, kernel cutters, quick cut paring knives, Dinners-Done recipe cards. Do you think that's a good idea? How much do I buy of this stuff? I just have no idea...this is my first time doing C&C.
