Not far from you, in Dublin (hanging onto the edge admittedly, almost Wicklow way).  Do you do markets or have an online store or something? (Yes, I'm VERY nosey  Muttley )

Bray?

I do/did some markets, some of the organisers are good, some others Strop.
I think the markets are fading fast this year.
I spend most of my time on the road for wholesale accounts, lovely cold calling.

Wouldn't fancy the cold calling bit - what are you marketing?

Handmade candles, soap and incense. All classed as luxury goods, so a bit of hard selling involved. I don't make them myself, I act as a distributor. Means that I can work flexi hours, important as I have 4 kids.

Don't think I'd fancy that - do you get set targets etc.?

Mind you - good way of building up contacts for selling your own stuff.

Definetly a good way for when I have SA done on my own stuff. I don't have targets to meet. The company involved does put pressure on from time to time, I just tell them to take a look at the Irish economy, if they feel they could get someone to take on a new distribution in this chaos, go ahead. Also, i think it would take some time for someone else to get my sjipping rates, I bargained long and hard for those.
