Hi everyone,
Since a lot of people here have experience in setting up businesses, setting up stalls at craft fairs and lots of other stuff, I was thinking we all must have lessons that we've picked up along the way.
So I was wondering what things have you had to learn the hard way or looking back would we have done differently?
I once did a summer fair which DID NOT go well at all. But, as my friend put it, I was next to a 2p lolly stand. At the time I wasn't doing much kid's stuff and there were lots of kids there who had spare pocket money but weren't that interested in the stuff I was selling because a) it was too grown up and b) it was too expensive for them. So now I try to include more stuff for kids at a more "pocket money friendly" price as well as my other stuff since you never know who will be there.
