Thread: off to the markets

Good luck with it. Just remember to talk your head off to anyone within cooie. At least you feel like you've had a good day out. (I like doing the market just because I get sick of being by myself in the studio.) And inexorably the sales will go up. Who knows why.:shrug.

Hey Carl, how did the markets go? Better than last time I hope.

Cheers,
Mike

worse..

sold 12 spinning tops. (all the tops i had)

wind rain and freezing cold aint good selling conditions. the person that shares my stall sold plenty of scarves thow.

i'll be at teh broadbeach markets weekend after next.

On ya Weisy! the weather has got to turn our way soon.

back there again tomorow. hopefully the weatehr will be a bit better than last time.

So how did it go Carl, any better? I had my first day three weeks ago, it was nice weather and I really enjoyed talking to all the tyre kickers. I am using it as an advertising front for larger comissioned pieces and landscape works so the fact that I covered costs and handed out 30 business cards was enough to please me. The surrounding stall holders all thought I was lucky to cover costs, they said it took them a couple of months before the customers started rolling in.

I reckon this is a great thread to keep going to provide people who are looking at setting up a stall info as I think some people have unrealistic expectations. Kepp up the progress posts.

on that day i just coverd costs.

last week i went to the Brookfield country market its a once a year afair i always do verry well made a $200 profit. i also used it to advertise my business and handed out about 25 cards. so all in all it was a good day.
