Who's sold at flea markets/craft fairs, etc.?
I am definitely going to go for setting up a booth at my city's AWESOME flea market... at a total space cost of $40 for Sunday (the busiest day) I think it would be well worth it!
Any tips for what I need to do to be successful? I feel like the "ideal" would be to have a GC table runner, banner, samplers, demo candles burning, catalogs/order forms, business cards, mints, plenty of opportunity tealights/contact cards, and a decent inventory on hand to boot. Can't afford that much stuff immediately... anyone with experience with this type of event that can help me with the "must haves"? I'm most worried about the inventory on hand part... if I even book 2-3 parties it would be well worth the space, but I'd like to make some sales as well. Since I can only do it twice a year without getting a resale permit, I want to make the most of it. In your experience, is a lot of inventory necessary, or will people be willing to order?
