Title: phew! Post by: nakedtruthbeauty on November 14, 2009, 08:19:28 PM Well, I'm sorry that some fellow fresholiers didn't have such good days, but my very first outing was a phenomenal success. I'm amazed at how well it went. It was a little craft fair in the Wesley Chapel hall, fairly well promoted and the organisers are careful about not duplicating stalls, so i was the only cosmetics person, but a bit of the beaten track and not the most glam venue ;). Still, I sold out of several lines, gift boxes went well, sundries sold well. Really pleased. One person ordered 3 gift boxes at £22 a go! Need to keep feet on the ground tho, realise they won't all be like this. Now got a slight issue, another fair Thurs aft and no stock, still a nice problem to have! Gave out loads of business cards too, so really need to get the website's up now! Pics below. Excuse knackered look, several very late nights this week!
I want to say a really big thank you to everyone on this forum for all the support, encouragement and advice. I really couldn't have got here without you all. :buttrf: :buttrf: :buttrf: Title: Re: phew! Post by: EJ on November 14, 2009, 08:27:09 PM Glad you did well for your first fair - it's such a boost.

And the stall look very nice. Title: Re: phew! Post by: nakedtruthbeauty on November 14, 2009, 09:27:26 PM Thanks all. I did have lots of little sample pots, they were a really useful sales tool. I invited people to smell things and even held them up to offer a people a sniff! Once they'd smelt the lovely EOs a huge proportion of people went on to buy. Oh, and that lime scrub I was so worried about.... sold out! :D
