For any of you who had a craft show last weekend, did
you notice a downturn in sales?
My first three shows of March were excellent. I didn’t
see any decrease in sales, despite the economy being in
the toilet. Matter of fact, I will go so far as to say I saw
a surprising increase over 2008.
But this past weekend? A total dud. Wasn’t worth getting
out of bed for. I’m not complaining really, just making a
very obvious observation.
Seems not too many people have extra cash by time the end
of the month arrives. I can honestly say, I’m in the same
predicament.
Starting to think I should stop booking shows that are the
last weekend of the month. At the very least, avoid doing
shows that are expensive or far to travel to.
