Guest jurnalynn Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 my first show was at our strawberry festival which is a small local show......first day we loaded in the pouring rain not so bad when we got there rained on and off..........after i get my booth set up i realize the 3 tents down there is another bath and body set up.........they had 126 different scents and they mixed your scent on the spot(i have 12).......how could i compete with that.........lol i had them on price point and i also had bath products where i think they centered around lotions and body washes one scrub and such i didn't dare go check them out i felt like a spy......... friday was slow because of the rain and a storm hit so we closed up early, a couple of tents got flipped that night and i arrived sat to find they had packed up and gone home.......good for me.........lol by the end i had made 7 times booth rental and have booked a few home parties and the possibility for serveral more.......i'm happy with that and my next show is july 4th so back to work for me........lolLaura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Laura, you sound like a real trooper to keep your chin up with the bad weather, etc. I'm happy for you that you did well and also got a few parties booked. Congratulations on your success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Sounds like a good start! Congrats! Just a suggestion though -- always check them out! (Gotta try to know what your competition is up to for many reasons.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
