jackbenimble Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have Christmas stuff out for sale by September but continue my fall theme until after Thanksgiving. Then switch to Christmas decor. However, I do some "Christmas" themed shows so I make sure I have plenty of Christmas products and decor on hand.Oh, I have all my Christmas and fall candles, melts, etc already made and had them at this last show. I only sold about 5 seasonal candles and a few more spring scents so I am still stocked up for this next one. I was mainly speaking about decor and have some good ideas I think using my green accent color and a few lights. I also want to have a couple of custom Christmas themed baskets that people can get. Lots to think about and do. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I love the clean, neat look of your booth and I agree with another poster that you have a great smile and would look great in a green shirt to match the green in the sign. I do think a bit more color would help tho. I was at an indoor show where a vendor had colored balloons that matched their products attached to both sides of their table and it was the first thing I noticed when I walked into the show. I'm going to try it at the next show and see how it goes. Below is a picture of a very small show I did this weekend with a few Halloween props. I'm certainly not suggesting that you neon out your booth but the added colors do seem to attract attention and I always put out a little dish of candy, I noticed people love to stop by and pick up a free treat, then you get a chance to talk to them.

EnvyCandles Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Question- If the show does not say Christmas or Holiday in the title do you think it would be weird to decorate my booth in a Christmas theme or style? It's Nov 12th so it may be a tad early for Xmas stuff.NNOOOOOO! Christmas stuff can be brought out as early as Oct!! Sept is a little too early for me personally. But most vendors will be Christmas friendly. Also you mentioned lighting a candle- I have not seen one show that allows any open flames. We like to set some sachets towards the front so the scent finds people when they are a few booths away. An idea for you is white lights, I know you are trying to keep a clean look, but lights are festive looking and a nice white would be beautiful.

Whisper Girl Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I always light a candle at my outdoor shows. I light one at my indoor shows after asking permission and have only been told no once and that one I left the lid off of my most "potent" candle and people could still smell it.

debscent Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Your product is very visually appealing. Your booth was consistent with the white & black, but I agree, seasonal decorations would be great. When I did fall shows I had frosted pumpkins, and ghourds and a live mum. For Xmas I had a pointsettia and a few pretty plastic Christmas ornaments or small wrapped presents, that were large enough to fill space, but plastic so when someone knocked it over, it didn't break. I also had gift baskets made for teachers/receptionists under $15 and they sold like crazy. Good luck, you have a nice looking product.

beekeeper_sd Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) The baker's racks I found were at Ben Franklin Crafts but I have seen them on the internet and at Hobby Lobby. Make sure to get folding ones so you can carry them easier. Oh, and I have seen wooden folding shelves at Office Depot.
