GerberDaisyCrazy Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I have never done a school show before, it is only 5 hours, so my question is how much inventory should I take. On the one hand I think 40 candles are enough, than something tells me to make a couple more. This is their 4th year(1st for me), so I am hoping there will be lots of buying. Has anyone else done a school show? T***I***A*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyd'Light Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I haven't done one, I'm a newbie, but...My daughter's school just had one and the mommy there sold out and took home several orders. Good luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascal418 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I did my first school show this past November & was surprised how many parents & grandparents came out to support the event. In <4 hours I made 11x my table cost & after the show I received several orders via email for candles & corporate gift baskets. If you can, work your items into the school theme (or colors) & take 2-3 times as much inventory as you think you'll need. Be sure to take 3x as many brochures & business cards too. HTH Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
