Hope you have more sales today. The wifi/cell signal situation is unfortunate. Did the organizers not realize that?

I would have bought that grinch soap dispenser if I had attended your craft fair. It is adorable. I hope sales are better for you today. It is certainly not the look of your merchandise!

I like when I can take a business card and contact people later. I liked something at a craft fair then contacted the person running the event and she gave me the gals web site. I contacted her then saw online her future craft fairs and purchased from her booth at a fair on the weekend. I agree with others to step out from your booth, have change on hand. Leave your purse at home and driver’s license in the car. Wear a Fanny pack for your cash or guard your purse as people might distract you. Post about the sale online to draw attention to it. I agree! I've contacted makers several times after the event and ordered custom items. |

Thank you all for your words of encouragement!
The organizers are aware of the issues that the lack of cell service is causing, there just isn't anything they can do about it unless a new tower goes up somewhere. I was told in the past most people just brought cash because there wasn't service in most of our town. In the last couple of years though people aren't carrying as much cash and are expecting card payments or Venmo. She told me if we walk outside to a certain spot you can get a signal. I took a couple customers out there on day 2and it worked.
Overall, it wasn't worth the time or money spent on the booth fee. I made $70 over the course of two days. I did post my leftover items on Facebook and sold several, so that was exciting and saved the day!

* Get in loser, we’re saving Christmas. * So cute. 😊 Good luck today. Your items are adorable. ❤️💚 Thanks! I loved that one. It was the item that sold on day one and it went to a little old lady that cracked up when she saw it. That made me happy. 🙂 |

congrats on your first successful day! i was telling DH the other day that i miss doing craft fairs. i don't miss the getting up early and the hauling/setting up but i miss the atmosphere and customers that come through. i love taking breaks and walking around to see what other sellers have. i haven't done one in 15 years but i still have good memories of them.
