My 1st craft show - need HELP:(

[Essie]

Hi ladies,

I'm new to this forum and so happy I found ya'll :) You all are soo helpful! I'm about to sign up for 1st 2 craft shows this year ( I figured I would be safe with 2).

I wanted to know from experience, what is the safest inventory number to keep for each item being sold.

Does anyone know a great wholesaler for shopping bags too.

I 'm very nervous but excited at the same time!


Thank you ladies:)

I went to Costco and got the "Thank You" shopping bags. 1000 bags I believe for around $10, can't beat that. They aren't the prettiest thing, but I didn't want to spend a ton on bags either.

Inventory is a hard gauge. I always think this and that will sell well and it's always something else that I run out of that I didn't make extra of. It also depends on the size of your shows. Are there going to be 500 expected to come or 50,000? That makes a huge difference too.
