So, im at the trade show, day 2, and it sucks. sold 2 suckers at $1 a piece yesterday and today sold 2 more suckers and a small candy buck at $7. Definitely thought there would be more foot traffic here but it is snowing a lot outside and people have been saying that the trade show next weekend usually does really well. So, I have reserved two tables for next weekend to do this whole thing over again. I feel really bummed out because i have put so much work into making these baskets and have barely sold anything. Our table looks great and our inventory is pretty good compared to the other junk being sold here. Here are some photos of our booth:
Let me elaborate on what i mean by "other junk being sold here." There is a woman at the table next to me who makes lanyard keychains with people's names on them who is selling them like hot cakes, she already made back her money from the table reservation for the show ($75). What kind of world are we living in? what have we come to?
I was sooo excited for this show to finally make some money because the website and eBay were not doing great and now all i get is another let down. I wanted some sort of sign that this new business (Sugar High) was a good idea and is worth pursuing to the end. I want to open the store more than anything and am willing to do the work required to do so.
I would say at least i have my health, but i just had back surgery 2-3 weeks ago (my third one).
