beauloser Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Better sales than last year, but not what I was hoping for(really didn't want to pack anything to take home!). I was the only candle vendor...sales seemed to be slow all around and the table on either side of us(jewelry and wreathes) didn't have a single sale.I didn't hide behind the table, was polite and spoke to total strangers, and kept a smile on my face all day. A better attitude and being better prepared made this a pleasant experience and I won't be as hesitant to try agian in the near future(instead of waiting a year again!). Thanks all for your advice and support. Candletech is a great place to be a part of . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 So glad you had a better experience than last year. A smile does it every time. You have a lovely display. Those are some great looking 'canes. The next one will be so much easier and hopefully you'll have a 'buy' crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzie Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Your display looks really appealing and nothing works so well as a smile. I'm glad you made good sales and hope you do even better next time - that is, not only have nothing to take home but enough orders to keep you busy for as long as you wish.

beauloser Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 Thank all...Robin, you have great powers of observation! The gift boxes are the free flat rate boxes from the post office wrapped in grocery bags and the holiday paper I had left over from last year. Display techniques on a budget!
