NEXT BIG SHOW
NEXT BIG QUESTION

Are the shows profitable for you? I know how much hard work goes into doing a show. We've only done a couple but learned a lot.

Definateley worth it, for our t shirt side of the business (not subli) and can honestly say that it certainly added a well needed boost to my shop takings last year.

They are hard work I know but we have only had one disaster where we had to close about 5 minutes after setting up.
The weather at Many of our shows has been dreadful weather but we have still come away in profit.

It has been great for exposure and putting our items/name out there, we get many orders off the back of it too and have just upgraded our equipment to cope with it all. Now will we figure out how to crack this new stuff....I don't know
Certainly not in time for this show season so we will have to stick with the vinyl.

Next show on Saturday n I hope I haven't jinxed it!

We have our next show on Friday(a 3 day event), could be interesting, it's a new one for us as its a vintage steam rally at "BOCONNOC" . Fingers crossed for the weather as our Launceston show last week we hade to pack up at 3 due to very high winds. It still turned out to be a good one though.

Unfortunately I have nothing Steam engine related but if it is successful hopfully we will come up for some ideas for next year.

Mandy, maybe NOT having anything steam related might be a bonus for you.
But to be safe, put up a sign saying your steam related lines are by order only...or something along those lines.
