Keep track of sales

[Mannie]

Hi every one  I have a quick question. How do you keep track of sales at a craft show? care to share your method?

I just do a running total on a note pad.  I also have an inventory sheet and try to cross off items as they sell.

Mine is pretty simple I inventory before a show at the show on a note pad I have a general list

 

Like this

Pillars

8 oz container

Single Melt

Melts Deal

So on and so forth

 

I put a mark under the appropriate place during the show

 

After the show I inventory and cross reference my sales.

 

That make it easy to see how much you are making during show. All you have to do is count up your marks at any given time.

I do same as above but keep it in an excel spreadsheet which I print for the show.  When show is over I enter my sales in each category so I don't have so much paperwork to keep filed.

I tried doing by scent but it got out of hand so categories became easiest for me.

I have my inventory in my square app, and when I make a sale (CC or cash) it gets recorded in square and when the show is over I just print up the report. It gives me everything I need - category, scent, product, price point, profit and tax (the tax is built into the price, but square has a feature that you tell it that, and it will calculate the tax for you - pretty sweet)

 That sounds neat. I Just got square  not fully
