Show Questions

Hi Everyone,
I've been working on things for the show this afternoon and had a few questions-
How are we running payment?
Are we all responsible for brining our own change?
Are we going to have internet access to take things out of our shops if they sell or to take paypal/credit card payments with?

I'm sure I'll have more, this will be my first show of any kind so I'm feeling very unprepared.
Thanks!
Kiley

Etsy Portland Fair

This is an Etsy sponsored fair and not by the Portland team alone, looks like it could be a lot better than the outdoor one this summer. No word on cost, booth size, etc yet. That should be up on storque later this week. The info that is out right now is here!

Also wanted to confirm our meeting on the 19th (set in my palm), I'm hoping to meet some of the new people then!

Meeting Last Night!

Hello Everyone!

We had a meeting last night and there were two new faces - plus me!

!Spring from Yodamoon and Susan with S E H What! Very glad you both have joined us!

We decided upon Sunday, September 30th for the trunk show. I will make up invites for that and get some to everyone. I will try to have them finished by next Tuesday.

The Artist's Shows at Washington Abbey will be Friday, October 19th and Saturday, November 24th. We can decide at the next meeting what format we want for those, but if we do them boutique style then people who can't be there can still participate. The November date is firm, but October date is still soft, will know for sure this afternoon. I will make up one postcard for these two sales. Because these will be open to the public I want to do a slick postcard for hanging and mailing. What I need from everyone who wants to participate is two pics of product you would like on the postcard. I will do a collage for one side of the card.

We discussed possibilities of other sale opportunities so hoping that more people can come to the next meeting to help with the planning.

Susan, !Spring, my husband and myself participated in the ETSY at the Beach sale and had a great time. It was successful for me in terms of sales and valuable learning lessons. This was my first Show and although I have been selling cards on the internet for about 3 years I learned a valuable lesson in the power of the customer seeing and experiencing the product. It was great fun!

Hope to hear from you all soon and please email your pics to me at fleegirl@efn.org
