Well, I just about managed to meet expenses. The $100 a night motel kept me from making a wee profit.
Those cartridge pens were my best sellers. I think I only sold one of the antler slimlines. I also sold three duck calls at $25 each and that was a mild surprise. But, they were all bought by ladies for their duck hunting husbands. I hope they are satisfactory.
The patrons there seemed really particular about what they bought, especially on saturday. Today, there was a seemingly moe affluent crowd and it showed in the sales. My partner and I did about twice the business today that we did on saturday and in half the time, too.
As usual, I met some really nice people, both customers and other vendors. That is always the highlight of doing these shows. I also got a line on a couple of other shows that are supposedly top tier and a continuing education in marketing.
I think I'm going to start pulling my travel trailer to those overnight events, especially while gasoline is relatively cheap. I really should use it instead of letting it depreciate just sitting in the yard.
Anyway, it wasn't a total wash but it could have been better. I'll have to think hard about doing that particular show again.
