Also ask HOW MANY of your competitor is at a craft fair/event.. some are really good with being fair and limiting only so many …others just want the money and put way to many there. I won’t do a show if there is too high a ratio of my competitors compared to the number of expected attendees. No matter how good your booth is there are only so many candles someone will buy. And some of those shows are not cheap!
I agree. I used to do a market where there were only 2, maybe 3 candle makers. The last time I went, there were 7!! I was like, nope... I won't be back if they continue to allow that many there. Don't think money was a factor because the fee is only $45.00. I've been with this person for a whole, but... I just can't do that.
@@latricejohnson3210 yes I’ve learned when asked to do a market or signing up I always try to find out how many will be there or will they have a limited amount in each category. It’s simply unfair to everyone between the cost, set up time and work.
The checkout system insights are on point! It's all about being organized so you can create a fast and seamless checkout experience! People get impatient sometimes. Ha! Thanks for the great vid Wade!
Great timing and always great info. I am preparing for my biggest fair that I have done. It is 11 days and last years attendance was 543,000. How much inventory would you recommend for an event like this?
This is a stupid question in the age of information but how do you all go about discovering every venue or opportunity to sell candles at? Is there a specific resource we all use or just google fb and word of mouth?
Wade, thank you for a great mix of videos and information. I have 7 shows planned for this fall season. I have a question, where do you get your Wax Melt stand that spins?
I don't think it matters. I've rarely heard a customer complain about thst. Most understand collecting sales tax is required. But yah, I generally just make my own a nice even binder that inside tax. Not for the reason you mentioned but because I don't wanna deal with change/coin at a show.

Great timing of this one Wade! I just signed up for my first show for June 4! I'm super excited! Thank you for this, you've always got helpful info
No problem. The full versions are both listed In the description as well. :)

Exactly. And thank you very much!
@@BlackTieBarn I'm not sure if you remember me. But I am formerly "Passage Candles". We had a chat about a year ago with my wife.
Great video, I saw the full video as well. You are awesome 👏🏽
Thanks! :)
I had several “ah-ha” moments in this video. I will be watching this again! Thank you for doing this.
Np Lynn. I have a few full length videos on the topic as well. :)
Thank you 💖🙏💖
Thanks Wade for the great videos. How do you ship candles in the summer and do candles require a lid? TIA
I just ship them normal. Lids are optional, but they can help with protection and shipping
Thank you! Very helpful.
Thank you!!!
😁
Np!
This was so helpful!

I think just Amazon. Check below, I think I have it linked
At craft shows, do you charge sales tax or wrap it into your COGS? Im under the impression people dont expect to pay sales tax at shows. Am I wrong?

Have you ever had someone steal your merchandise at an event?
Nope. It's a small risk at most places. It might happened to some every now and again I'm sure... but very little impact in grand scheme of things
But be sure to watch his video when everything was stolen !! Makes you think twice
My problem is labeling ink smears
The key is the right labels for your printer type. Or order printed labels. Try sticker mule (link in description) or onlinelabels.com
Thank you I'm learning from the Master, yall the best thank you
sooooo much great info!!!! Ahhhh I will do a show someday damn it lol
