Hi Guys

There is a craft fair coming up on Dec 3rd within a stone's throw of my house. I was speaking to the organiser today and she says she has 47 stalls to date and none specifically doing cards. There is one lady bringing some cards with other products.
It is €40 per stall and the proceeds of the event go to Chernobyl Children.

Can't make up my mind!

How much stock do ye think I need?
Am I better to do packs of same cards?
What is a reasonable price to be charging for packs? They would be simple styles ( I think)
I would hope to have some individual cards there as well as pictures of most of the personalised cards I have done to date and potentially take orders.

Need your input/inspiration

My big reservation is the amount of stock I would need, so could share with someone if they were interested.
The fair is in Athenry, Co Galway.

Tks

Helen go for it Smile

If you read back previous posts you'llsee lots of advice. At this time of the year Christmas cards do really well and consider doing some in Irish as well. I did a fair last year and brought about 150 cards with me (phew) sold 67, mainly Xmas cards and also baby cards do really well.

Best of luck and let us know how you get on

Tks Jacqui!

Found some posts from this last time last year from Patrica Mc.

Just what I was looking for. But lots of new faces around and those that were here last year are a year wiser Wink

So all advise/tips etc welcome

tks

How many people are expected? Is it being well promoted/advertised?

I'd think that you'd need no more than 200 cards, but it is totally dependent on how many people are expected?

Always a good idea to have special offers e.g. 4 cards for 10 euros, and different kinds of products on your table e.g. cards and packs of thank you cards or notelets...
