That is funny, but true.... I am new to candle making, but have worked many many shows. my first shows where Gun and Knife shows, I started at 13 years old. For the most part people are very nice. Even the other vendors. One hint is to come early, set up and be ready to make a run to Walmart for whatever you forgot to plan for. It will happen. It is ok. DONT WORK ALONE, the bathroom is the enemy if you are alone, customers can be... well.. you know. It just doesn't work. GUARD your money, and keep it behind the counter and not on your display area. A money apron is sometimes easier. ( LESS SECURE THO) BRING PLENTY OF CHANGE FOR 100's and 20's That seems to be the only denominations people have at shows. Try and price your items to be rounded off with tax included to even numbers. ( 18.47 + tax = 20even) ( or whatever it needs to be ) This way all you need are 20's 10's and 5's for change. Early in the show you seem to get the biggest BILLS so be prepared. AM people HAVE more money it seems. OR atleast BIGGER BILLS. RELAX RELAX. If you plan ahead and even set up your display at home to see how it looks before you get there. Then you can spend your time SELLING AND SELLING pays the BILLS. BRING STUFF TO DRINK and EAT. THERE STUFF SUX AND IS EXPENSIVE ( USUALLY ) DONT SPEND YOUR MONEY SHOPPING AT THE SHOW. You are there to get PAID, not to GET STUFF. I have seen so many people spend more than they made all weekend on SUNDAY. If you have any more questions Please ask
