Sales table
« on: September 20, 2010, 03:41:48 pm »
Woodcraft has been and gone and the crowds did not come hence poor sales, if it had not been for my new range of scroll work it would have been a wasted 2 1/2 days, I sold 33 pieces of scroll work 25 of those were puzzles, so in my opinion it was a pleasing result, sales over all for me were 50% down on last year but some had no sales at all so I can not really complain, I have more pics I will post at a latter date

It looks like you had a good variety Jimbo. It sounds like puzzles were your big seller. You just never know what people are looking for.

Looks great Jimbo. Do you make your own puzzle boxes? I like the look of the puzzle sitting in a box.

Jimbo, Where on earth did you find the boxes for the puzzles.  I do most of the same puzzles and have not found a decent box to display them it.  I use ziplocks w/a piece of cardstock behind them to try to keep them together but when you are stacking several for a show - some of them get disassembled.  It takes time to get it all back together for display.  (I take them out of the bags and set them up for the show which can also be problematic if someone bumps the table).  Great display - thanks for sharing.

Hi Guys thanks for your kind remarks, the idea of the box's trays were from another member of the forum, they are actual trays and I cut them out of card board, then I cut a square of card for the lid and put an elastic band around it to hold together, if any one does not understand I can post a pic, while sales of my normal range of woodcraft I was rapt on what I sold of my scroll work as it was my first showing

That is a good idea to make your own box trays. You can make them the size to fit your puzzle.  8)

Great Looking Wares!

Always remember as I learned in the 'retail' business....
"The 'customer' making a purchase is the most fickle and unpredictable animal on this planet and probably any other!"

You may put exactly the same inventory out again at your next show/sale and the exact opposite results will occur.

Keep on Scrollin' and Sellin'!
