*lol*

Nora here with the second chime

my girl and I are doing our first event on the 25th.

we have been running around for like the past 2 months trying to get

everything set up and straightend out.

one suggestion i would have is to make a little inventory list and be

prepaired to take orders.

good luck

You ladies should do great!

I have noticed that people selling $1.00-$3.00 items do very very well.

People always have a few bucks in their pocket they will spend and don't

mine letting go of.

If the items are much more then you have to step and do your job of selling.

MUCH SUCCESS to you both!

I'm doing my first craft show at the end of November, and I'm running around

with my head cut off, so I know exactly how you feel! Any advice given on how

much to bring, or what other things should be brought with, would be greatly

appreciated!

It's both... It's a pagan/wiccan gathering to celebrate Samhain (pronounced

'sow-en') by honoring those loved ones who have passed on... It's aka The

Witches New Year.

If you want more information, you can e-mail me privately so as not to clog up

the list.

Blessed be,

Is it a real witch ball or just called that cause it is close to Halloween?

Luck to you, too... As for pricing... You price what the market will bear... (I

work in the Marketing Department of a major automotive parts manufacturer and

have learned quite a bit about marketing.)

This is what I do:

Do a search via Google on bath or soap, plus your city or state. Then check out

what those people are selling things for... Compare their product 'look' to your

product look... Then take an average on their prices... For instance, I live in

Denver, CO. I've done a search on soap and Colorado. There are half a dozen

soapcrafters that pop up via Internet... I compared my product to theirs and

came up with a price...

Of course, there's the other way... Add up your costs, then double, then triple,

then quadruple... Then, check those prices against similar product in stores in

your hometown... and do an average.
