[mrs*h]

hi i was just wondering if you would be able to help me .im due to do a cpl of craft fairs soon and i was thinking of taking some of my xmas cards ....but i dont know if ppl will think it to early to start selling them yet? Wendy

[Smile]

I would go for yes but i'm not sure

[mrs*h]

i know wot ya mean i just dont want ppl to be put off by seeing the xmas cards so early on but i still have a lot of stock from last year that i would like to get sold before i make new ones but i just dont want to scare ppl away with them?!!!!!!

I would say definitely yes take them, as long as you have got room for them. Its half-way til xmas already, and people like to be organised! I dont think it would scare people off, it gives people another option for something to spend their money on

Yes take them, you don't have to fill the stall with them, but if you have a small section you can always get more out if an interest is shown.

Hi

This is a difficult one and Im not sure.
I took some Christmas cards to a craft fair last year in begin of September and hear alot of people saying they were nice but it was fair too early to but them. However a few weeks later they were selling well !!!!

However someone I work with asked me if I was taking any Christmas cards with me to a craft fair in June - I said no. She surgested that I did as if people are sending cards to places such as Oz they need to post them really really early.

If I were you a I would take them and put a few out, maybe in a basket and test the market. You got nothing to loose. Maybe put a notice on it saying you can never be to earlier or how many days it is to Christmas to get them thinking.

Sorry if Ive gone on a bit

I'd have some in a basket on their own, just in case - cos you never know!

I've got a fair in July and won't be taking any then - mainly because the table will be smaller than what I'm used to, but the October one I will be doing as I sold quite a few last year in October.

Hope this helps!
