mountainmadness Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I have been selling soap at different Christmas venues for the past three years and selling full-time at the local market for the past two years. What a difference it makes in sales when people know who you are.I did my last show for the season on Sat. My sales for one day shows average $1700.00 My biggest show this year (a three day show) was $4400.00 I had a lot of calls since my last show with people inquiring where I was next. I informed them that this was my last show for the season....Well, from 10-4 with help working the booth with my MIL..... and people 5 rows deep filling their arms with soap..... $3200.00 for 6 hours.I had to share because I never in my wildest dreams thought that I could do that much!I hope that all of you are having good weekends! :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainmadness Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 That's just wonderful! Congrats! Now its time to kick up your feet for the holidays.MM- do you have a website where they can order from also? Or do you sell only through shows?I'd love to have some great shows like that! Good thing you brought enough inventory!I finally hired someone to create my website because I have been trying to do it for about a year now. I have purchased my domain name.We do have quite a few soap makers in Alaska but I market and display different than everyone else. Most of the soap makers here are very tourist based and I wanted to appeal more to the local market.I took a total of 1,000 bars and sold 600.I appreciate all of the kind words. There is nothing like the feeling of having your business develop into what your dreams are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
