Default Just wondering a few things....

How many cards are all of you getting ready for your up and coming craft shows??? How much are you selling notecubes for?? What is your best selling item?

I have been getting ready since July and I have around 8000 cards made... Just finishing up on Christams cards. I do sell a lot of cards and just wondering what you all are up to out there. Hope to hear from you all . Also what kinda prices are you asking on your items. When I get done with my first show I will put pics on here for you to see my displays... I got into trouble a few weeks back with a store going out of business..

8000 cards!! Holy moly. I have about 300 made for my first show in 2 weeks. I sell them for 2.50 each or 6 in a box for 14.00. I usually sell about $75-100 in cards, and $200-300 in my aromatherapy skin care products for a 2 day show, about half that for a 1 day show. I may stamp on some sm wood frames from the dollar store and sell them for $4-5. I also make jr. legal pad holds with matching RSVP pen and sell for $4, and mini steno pad with pen for $3.

I've found that non-stampers don't really appreciate the hand made quality, and stampers say to themselves "I can make that myself", which most really can't because I'm good and I have all the stamps, ink, paper, accessories, etc. Hope this helps.

8000....cards. *jaw drop*

I only ever did a farmers market and then I just sat at the booth with my friend...people came by, saw me coloring and stamping and just wanted to buy what I was working on right then....

I can't even fathom 8000.....cards........Good luck with your shows!

Wow, I've only got about 750 cards or so for my upcoming fairs! I do sell other items are well which I really need to get going on producing!
I sell cards for 2.50 each or 6/12.00. I also have mini card sets of 10 boxed for 12.00. This time of year I'll have cutesie candy treats for stocking stuffings and such and those are usually .75-1.00 each, depending on the item. I'd like to make ornaments this year and I also have journal set/notebook sets and gift baskets of items.
