Anyone got any fairs booked for the new year

[sherrielinda]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has got anything booked for the new year. What are fairs usually like after the crimbo period as I've never done one yet ???

i have a wedding fair booked in jan, I'm hoping that should be quite good. Craft fairs in january i dont find to be very profitable.
Picks up abit around valentines day so feb time

am taking the opportunity of stock taking and producing new stock whilst its generally quiet after the xmas period.

For us it starts to get busy around March/April time when its a bit warmer and people venture out a bit more.

Thank you

I think mostly everything is pretty quiet until around springtime but good luck to anyone going to any sooner

Hi,

I think it's fair to say that craft events tend to follow the fortunes of the major retailers ...ie Christmas is the time to take money and the first few months of the year are spent spotting customers! And I hate to say it but I think 2009 is going to be especially hard ...I doubt Woolies will be the last casualty!!!

But on a brighter note ...there are always events coming up throughout the year ...birthday's, Valentines and as mentioned ...weddings. But, my personal view is that it tends to be towards Easter before things pick up again. If you did your first events before Christmas and were busy, don't expect it to be like that at an event in the middle of January!!

As dolts007 said, maybe best use the time to re-stock!

Regards.
