People...Pat, I agree with the craft show comments. People who shop there are not willing, for the most part, to pay for, what is in reality, an art piece. Even if is a card. When I was still doing them, I had better success just setting a table at a private school or business (you have to have an in-person), from previous customers, friends etc. I do a lot of quilled keepsake invites and give them as gifts, this has gotten me other paid ones from when they are displayed at the weddings and events! Always put a card on the back and/or cards on the table so admirers can find you! Also make your gift quality cards that you give able to do double duty as a framed piece! You can get referrals that way also.Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958054919255439531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149780025090144656.post-81768702725660198482009-03-21T07:30:00.000-07:002009-03-21T07:30:00.000-07:00Pat...My sister works in a SMALL beauty shop who's...Pat...My sister works in a SMALL beauty shop who's clients are the sweetest ladies most of whom are RETIRED. The economy has not affected them because they still get their hair done every WEEK. When they saw the quilled shamrock earrings I made for my sister on St. Patrick's Day they all went CRAZY. They suggested I set up a table at the beauty shop with some finished projects as well as me sit at the table so they could watch me during the quilling process. They said I could sell things already made as well as take orders. Just another idea.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521379136252729251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149780025090144656.post-88520321769734109512009-03-20T13:05:00.000-07:002009-03-20T13:05:00.000-07:00Pat..you are so right!!!

It's that part about getting the right amount of quilling for the right price - I'm still working on that one...Clareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226034187173308843noreply@blogger.com
