Luci Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Thanks for posting that link. I went there and registered.Even though I'm nowhere near a place where I could actually participate in anything, I do like to go and look (and buy). I've spent a lot of time searching the net with little or no results! Most events I find are outdated. Hopefully, this will help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrealh1975 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Even though I'm nowhere near a place where I could actually participate in anything, I do like to go and look (and buy).Why do you say you're not close enought to participate, but you go and look? Are these shows where they want you to live in the area or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 No, I meant that I'm nowhere close to having products ready to sell. I'm still in the testing and learning stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrealh1975 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 ooohhh ok, I read that wrong! It helps to go to shows to see what the "competition" is doing! Also, it helps you to see how shows are being run, etc. Have fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I love attending the shows and bazaars. I went to the huge Craftsman's Classics in Myrtle Bch a couple of weeks ago. I bought from each of the 4 soap/candle vendors (among lots of other things). It was a learning experience seeing the different setups, products, packaging, etc. It's hard not to spend tons of $$ though. I'm bad about wanting every piece of jewelry and food items!

andrealh1975 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I usually will only take about $20 bucks w/ me and will leave the checkbook and credit cards at home. They'll get you in trouble every time. I do collect tons of business cards though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
