Re: Re: Anybody home?/Show Report

[Guest guest]

Hi , I am so glad that you had a good show this

weekend. I like to talk to people at shows too! What's the

sense of doing them if you are going to hide behind your book! I am

really sorry to see you leave the list...I've learned a lot from

you. This isn't the note that Terri thought was offensive was it,

as I see nothing offensive in it. Take care and please stay in

touch...

Hi, Dee!

I was at a show this weekend and had a blast. Mom and I always have a

good time at shows,and the gals that run the one I was at in Lowville

are always so sweet to us, so that show is our favorite.

I'm glad to say that we had record sales for a small/medium indoor

show (80 or so crafters). Just a shade under $400. Instead of the

initial onslaught of people (which is INSANE), we had steady business

all day. Scents/stuff that sold well: Diosa, Jallesia, Sable in

soap,lotion and spray (sold out of all those). My lotion bars.

Anything to do with winter care. Perfume oils were a surprise

hit.

There was another soapmaker there (her first year at this show), and

I didn't get a chance to go over and say hi until the end of the day.

She wasn't exactly friendly-- which means there is NO WAY she could

belong to this list because all the friendly soapers hang on the NY

lists LOL

Compliment of the day that we received that I want to pass on to all

you show-doers (is that a word?) out there: I had another crafter

who used to do big shows come to our booth (she was just there

visiting the show). She said the one thing that really stood out in

her mind was that we were one of the few people that she has seen at

craft shows who are inviting and chatty. Most people, she says, just

sit there and barely talk...or if they do talk, it's rather brief

( " how are you? " " Let me know if you have questions " )

and then they go

back to their knitting or whatever. I think the best part of shows

ismeeting the people! In all honesty, a sale is great...but I'm happy

just having people oooohh and ahhhhh over my stuff in person!!

LOL

Go forth and be a chat-monkey!

Off to fill my Midwest order. yikes! Inthet mail by FRIDAY????

Oy!

My MIL likes my lotion bar, but she wants something she can

" scoop "

and apply. I don't have any tins and don't want to buy a bunch of

them just so I can experiment for her.
