Been pretty happy with it. There are several payment options.

I would too turn it, but still have something on the corner, a small display. The more you can to get them into your booth the more money they will spend. Walkers buy tend to not buy or spend less than those that come in. Plus there is more room for theft in your booth as you may not neccesarily see the person directly. I have corner locations at most trade/craft shows, and I pay the premium for it, corners can increase your sales by 20% if done correctly. Grab them by putting your popular items out towards the fron then you grab them in. The more you get them to stay in your space the better.

On a good show, I will sign up and pay for the booth for next year. This is usually what most really good(profitable for me) and organized shows do.

My dad came in carrying the paper, so I knew it was in there. No pic, just pics of the Harvest Queens . My name was mentioned, and I was the only crafter mentioned, so got my liitle bit of fame, too bad its a one town circulation paper.....

Now got a show sat, a wedding show sunday, a w/e off then off to a 2 weekend show that gathers 10's of thousands of people each w/e. I gave up craft shows a while back, but seems I'm back in the game for at least this year.

I have an ad that was due last week, after I sent hem a copy via email they said it needed to be changed from RGB to CYMK. How do I do this? I am using Printshop. TIA

those are about what I have

We took pvc pipe, about 18" long, got 2 end caps for them and a lg eye hook. Glued one cap to the bottom with PVC glue then filled with sand then took the other end and put an eye hook in it. Then they hang by bungees off the top.

Get this! We took our stuff to a craft show one town over. Lady came up to my husband and asked if he made these..he said yes, she then told him that she passed a sign earlier in the week that was hiring a candlemaker and maybe he would be interested. He about rolled over laughing...he said yeah, but I already work there!!

Also, seen someone else there selling our candles that we wholesaled to....under cut us by 20%, but we had a good show and our display looked primo!

Newspaper guy came over and took a picture of our floaters, and raved about them, said he was sending over his wife later today. Maybe we'll be in the newspaper!

WHat kind of wax do you use?

A few weeks for me too. If you need it in a hirry you could also try calling the dept directly and get a copy of the forms or call you local state rep, I had to do that for the corporation papers.

Beer & pretzels...I know the scents are out there somewhere....

Boy, I'd like to rub that poop all over me.....

Everyone's cost are different. I can make an 8 oz jar for $1.15 it all depends the quantities you buy your products in. Think about it even more about the dollar stores when they are selling it for $1.

B&B, not yet, but that's where I'm getting most of the new products. Been testing throughout the year. with 45 scents that knockss me down to 20 some odd new products. Have 8 so far completed, and still testing the rest. So "1000" products is easier thatn you think. Been working 8am-11pm lately.

I am looking for embeds for in parrafin candles. I found someone on ebay a while back but misplaced the link. Looking for fall oriented stuff like candy corn, spiders, and what ever I can make something cool out of.

Yeah, I just got some mini pumpkin shaped silicone molds there...course my son wants to make the little cakes on the package...may have to go back for another one.

My former sales rep and her somehow planned this, cause she wasn't making them 6 weeks before the trade show. 6 weeks is not enough time to test. Mine was 10 mos before it went to market.

She is 2 hrs away and has a shop, might have to take a road trip. Don't be sneaky cause i'm a good detective... and ready to go kick some butt

I have replicated product sure, so has everyone else here I am sure, but to take the details out of 50 products and reproduce them exactly, come on!! Wait until I lay down my plans , then I''ll let you know her site...she has two!

But she doen't have my creativity.....1000 new products by Jan...that is my goal! I am a little tired though and my DH thinks I'm crazy, but all for it!

Can I just say I love these smileys!!

I didn't realize how close they were to my products, same names, same colors, same terms, everything. I also found out she had first hand knowledge of my products, meaning she placed an order for my products!! Not sure how to take the next step to bring her down!

FT for 3 yrs now, DH too, plus a few employees. Took my very first paycheck a few months ago but the INC pays for virtually everything.

Do you mean a wholesale trade show?

Most stores carry 4-5 candle lines if not more

Someone my mother works with uses used oil to make soap. I thought this kind of sounded disgusting and wouldn't even think of doing that. Has anyone heard of using oil like that? I guess if you strained it and such, just sounded odd.

You don't need any of those licesnses until you are ready to sell, until then only a sales tax iD(if you plan on selling to the public, not freinds), you may be able to get a temp one in your state. It can be claimed as hobby income until you begin making over $600 (I think, at least it used to)

Anyone know where this wax comes from? Their price is going up again and I need a few pallets. TIA
