Title: And so it begins....
Post by: nakedtruthbeauty on February 09, 2010, 11:09:32 PM
It's 2 months since my last fair, but I'm off again tomorrow. Well actually I'm trying something new and going into a workplace. It's a massive call centre and head office in one, so plenty of footfall, so we'll see how we go. Had a manically busy couple of days making stock, rebranding labels, checking I've got everything I need blah blah. Anyhow, early start, so I'll catch up with you all tomorrow eve and let you know how it goes. Oh and I'm trying a cakestand I borrowed for my display (not practiced tho, hmm), so we'll see how that looks. Nite xx

Good luck NTB!!

I work in a massive office with hundreds of people but hardly anyone knows what I do! It's harder for a man, I think.

Good luck.  I am sure it will go really well for you.

I have had a look at the revamped website too.  It looks great.

I was wondering whether you had a card machine to take, or was everyone paying in cash. Myself and Joy nearly did a workplace last year (we didnt end up doing it) and I wondered whether people may not have had cash on them. Just seen your other thread and it looks like you did really really well  :buttrf:

Hi Sue, it's got to be worth a go. I'm delighted with how well it went. There was a cash machine on site, so no probs just taking cash and cheques, although I did have some near misses with nearly running out of change (never come near before) cos people kept giving me £20 notes fresh from the ATM! It was £50 for the stall which is the most I've paid but it was a big venue.

Ah-yes I forget they often have cash machines at the big places-fantastic that you  did well - on my first ever craft stall (and nearly my last) I had a lovely bag of change ready and ended up with two sales in the whole day LOL

Hey NT, I missed this yesterday but at least it spared me from wondering how it went all day,  :mwaha:  Wonderful and good for you NT  ;D   :buttrf:

Sue, thank goodness you weren't put off with that first one  :)

Well, actually.... secretly I have in fact only done one other which was a two hour evening do and I took 40x what I did that first day LOL. Thats all I have done though cos I'm chicken!

hmm - it made me wonder if that isn't just the prefect way for marketing and selling. We used to have a sandwich lady come in and I was thinking, maybe I need to pop into my old workplace one day and make a stall there. Beats standing in the rain at a farmer's market...
