Hi All!
I've been reading through all the great craft show threads, especially on booth display. You guys really have some terrific advice plus great pics and links. I appreciate reading your opinions.
I'm planning to sell at our annual county fair this September. It's a 4 day event that brings in approx. 30,000 people. This will be my first big outing so I want to make a memorable impact.
As far as I know I'm the only CP soaper in my area. There's one other lady that does MP and not many shows. I also do shower gel and lotions. My question is how much should I bring?
Right now I have 20 batches of CP soap in various stages of cure (most are 5 lbs each). These range from 100% natural made with EO's, to fun and colorful made with FO's, and spa bars made with salts from around the world. I plan to focus on fall and holiday products too as our fair is in Sept so I don't want to miss the holiday gift boat. I'll add the shower gel and lotion in the various coordinating scents and make gift baskets.
My business name is "Joy of the Earth" and my tag is "Genesis 1:12" which tells the story of creation on the 3rd day when God created all the plants. I plan to use strong greens over brown in my display and possibly a touch of yellow. I'm still working on the details of how I want to set up my 10' x 10' area.
So if I end up with approx. 30 to 40 different types of soap, gel and lotion, is that going to be too much? Not enough? I don't want to overwhelm the public but I don't want to appear like I have little inventory. I'm making myself nervous and crazy thinking about it!
Thank you anyone and everyone that can direct me in the right path!
