I hope that today was not an aberration.
I made a marketing campaign swing today. First I stopped at a new hotel and convention center in Indy. They had gotten my name from the Indiana Artisan Project and contacted me about carrying some of my pieces. They purchased (cash not consignment) almost $600.00 worth.
Next my MIL took me to new upscale hotel in another town and they were very interested in carrying some of my pieces once they get a display case. Looks like that could be a cash basis also.
Last and maybe the best was when she took me to a HIGH price private club where I made my presentation to two nice ladies that are in charge of their arts program. One of them purchased almost $300.00 worth on the spot and thought that the one piece was too cheap. I am already set up for two of their receptions where I will get to present up my pieces for sale in person. These are people that don't usually ask the price. I might have to adjust my prices!!! :D
Steve, you might be right about this year. I think I can stand sales of almost $1000.00 in a day.
I had to tell someone.
