I am thinking of getting a booth at a craft show at the beginning of December. I am planning on having some pens, cutting board and bowls there. I am sure this question has been asked before but I was wondering what are the best selling pens at small town craft shows. I am not looking for anything fancy and I imagine no one will buy higher priced pens there. I was thinking of taking 3 styles of pens with different woods and platings. How many do you take of each type generally. I am sure everyone has there favorites and types of woods that sell best. I was thinking of taking 50 pens. Maybe this isn't enough of a good show but when I might sell only 3 pens this is kind of expensive.
I was thinking the slimline style is for sure in. I have read posts about the 24k gold pens losing the gold plating. Do alot of you guys still make and sell these pens or go with better plating?
I had a booth at this show 6 yrs ago and tried selling just my bowls there. I sold 3 of them. Kind of sucked but everyone one was looking for low priced gifts and not $60 bowls.
Anyway alot of question. I know I should probably go to judged shows but if nothing sells I have alot of christmas present to give out.
