First Craft Show (sorta)

Here is a picture of our setup at Laurel High School. It was their 1st annual Yard Sale / Craft Show. We had plenty of space and got to be the first table people saw when they came in the front door. We angled the back table in the direction most would be approaching our booth. We were using our 6' folding tables for the first time. The new tables white tops and table skirts looked great. We had the candles arranged alphabetically so it was easier for us to find when we were trying to pick a scent for the customers. I had to work this weekend, but we hired a friend to help Toni with the booth.

Look as these!

A friend of ours made these real quick to see what she might be able to do for us to break into the craft shows. They fit the jar candles perfectly. They're really cute. We hope she's got more ideas coming. One of them is an Easter theme. We'll probably have more with other holiday themes, along with ones for Mother and Grandmother.

Our setup at the Greenwood VFW

This is what we were able to put up on just 1 8' table. It's quite a bit! No Bath and Body and no votives(although we did sell some of each). Almost every scent of candle is represented here, along with quite a few Melts. The plug-ins are still a seller. People love them.

I've got more, just ask. This guy will help you build your Home Based Business. Who'd of thought you can start one for less than 50 bucks?

The wall

This is a picture of the small wall I built with 12 outlets to display our plug in tart warmers. These aren't available from our Company Website, but we are carrying them to help with sales of the Melts. We were able to get a wall space at this show with access to an outlet. The Fire Dept. actually offered to move their tables to let us have this spot. I'm going to have to make some modifications to it so it will stand up by itself.

Blades VFD setup

Here is our tables set up at a indoor yard sale in lower Delaware. It was a fairly well advertised event and there was a waiting list for vendors. Unfortunately it was 4 degrees (not a typo) that morning that discouraged customers and vendors alike. Three vendors that had paid for tables didn't even show. From reviewing this picture, table skirts are a must every time.

The setup of tables worked fairly well for a 10'X10' space. The two 6' tables with the 4' table in the middle up front actually was a little wider that 10', but no one minded here. My next project is going to be shelves for the candles.
