That is an eye catching sign. Remember customer service. I am having a terrible time with one company. It is a small business but I can't understand how they stay in business. Good luck!

I have had another home based business for over 10 years and I agree with LeslieFrost also. You have to constantly keep your name in front of people. And those who say they will call often times never call. A few will surprise you though...have had that happen many times. Or...they will ask you what show you are doing next because they will come and buy more...rarely happens. In fact a lady loved a particular fragrance...I pour candles...and told me to pour her several and she would be at my next show...SHE NEVER SHOWED. Now a guy who loved another fragrance bought all I had at the show and said he would call...he DID call and ordered 10 candles in that scent.

But...I do wish you the best of luck and keep plugging away. Your sign and booth are inviting and would have attracted me to look.

I love your sign and your booth looked very nice. Yes, definitely do more shows. The more people see your face and products, the more your business will grow. It's all a numbers game. But don't get discouraged, it does take time. Best of luck to you!

Your sign is AMAZING!!!! I truly have never seen such a beautiful craft fair sign. Your set up is very welcoming.

I personally think you need to do other shows until you have enough of a customer base.

I got my first order from the first show (for 3 bears in Jan) and i am doing another craft show this weekend. My Fidget lap quilts for Alzheimers patients are taking off also. Been a good week.

Your sign is beautiful. Good luck with your endeaver. It is hard to get started and to build a strong base for your business. I have done shows in the past, and some were very good and some were a dud. You never know, and have to keep trying.
