Those Who Have Done (And Are Doing) Craft Shows ...

[Guest guest]

What has been your hot sellers this year?

 

I notice last year bath salts were hot, this year they're not ... this year candles are hot, last year they were not .

Last year bars of soap were hot, this year they're not ... This weekend I am going to see how well creams and liquid soaps/shower gels go.

 

I just wanted to see what other folks were experiencing

Hi Chris,

 

I have been doing many shows myself. Got 4 over the next 2 weekends. Thank

goodness my Mom helps out.

 

IMO people are being very conservative with their spending. I take with me

to my shows the following:

Soap, bar and liquid

Creams

Balms

soy candles

Very few bath salts or scrubs

 

I have sold out at my shows in November of the Herbal Hand Repair Balm,

Golden Gloves (cream) and Mango-Orange Body Butter (cream) which can be seen

on my website if you want to check it out.

 

I noticed at the shows in November, people bought for their needs, ie: dry

hands, eczema flare ups etc... So I plan to focus on that at the next shows

I do.

 

Seems the gifty type items have been in second place this year. Candles and

soap are running together as far as amount of each that have sold. I have

not sold any gift packs as of yet (combined soap, cream & candle.) Sold only

a couple sugar scrub kits and some chocolate bath beans. Your bath cookies

are unique and I would venture to say that those would do well.

 

Hope you have great success at your shows & definately take those

scrumptious looking butters you had on list the other day.

 

Happy Holidays,

Margaret

Like Margaret, I am finding that utilitarian things are selling well.

I have sold tons of hand cream, salve, and body butters. I live in

New England and it is dry skin time! Lip balms are a sellout at every

show too! And I only do one flavor, spearmint.

Smaller things are selling better than larger things. People are

comfortable with my prices and variety, but want to buy smaller

amounts to save money, even when the larger sizes are competitively

priced.

While bath salts are not so hot this year, fizzy

bath crystals are. People like the graininess is

what I have been told by a couple of customers.

 

Also, aroma burners with a sample eo or blend in

them sell quite well here in Alaska.

 

For me shampoos, soaps (liquid or bar) and shower

gels do not sell at all.

 

But Alaska seems to have a completely different

supply & demand than the lower 48. Hmmm wonder if

Hawaii is the same as the continental US or not.
