quantity?

How many of each bow do you make? Or do you only make 1 of each? I don't mean the style, like stacker bows...but if I make a stacker bow in red, white, & blue - should I make 3 more identical? Or more? Less? Hope my rambling makes sense, TIA

I like to make at least two of everything. If it is something that you think will really sell make as many as you can. It is really hard to figure out what people might like. One show they might like stackers and next show they might not buy any. I did a show close to Thanksgiving and didn't sell a single turkey. Last week I put a few out because they were already made and sold one.

I have not done a show/fair yet. But I am thinking when I do, I would want to have atleast 2 sets of everything I make. If you have business cards you could hand them off to those who are interested in a certain color that you may not have .. custom order!?!? I dont make stacker bows ... should they be in sets!?!? My sister inlaw sells some of my bows and sells them at a 'single' price or 2 for $$ ie: single bow for $3.50 or 2 for $6.00.

As many a you can. I try to make 4-5 of everything because it's hard to gauge what's really a great seller if you only have a couple of them. The more, the merrier.

Just had my first show about a week ago, I made pairs of all the small and med bows (sold them as pairs not individually), and singles of the large. The only thing I made multiple of were "school spirit" bows due to my first show was a small show at our daughters primary school. (the school spirit bows and filp flops went over well) I too offerd a discount based on purchase price, the more they bought over $15 the more they saved.
