Followup to day at the jewelry trade show
My postings and replies aren't showing up again, except on google, so I've
started another thread, if only to see what happens with this one. In retrospect, the show 'to the trade' wasn't as good hunting as a bead show probably would have been. It focussed mainly on finished articles, for one thing. And many had a minimum purchase limit of at least $200 and most of it is shipped after the show - not for the faint of heart. I mentioned I bought some coral. Well, I was ordering from a sample and my boss has warned me that I probably won't get something that looks as good as the sample. Even if a vendor had 'cash and carry', the one booth where I nearly broke down and bought some gorgeous silver rings didn't take VISA for its cash and carry and I had no cash thanks to a quick trip to the greenhouse. A friend who does jewelry and went again today says the attendance was even worse today and one of the vendors was telling her he won't be back. Her feeling was that the show wasn't very well promoted. There were a couple of very small vendors there who were probably hurting by the end of the show. Much as I think the show could have used more variety, I know the burden would fall on small businesses who really can't afford a poor showing. And why do we love doing things that are not financially remunerative? I dunno. Maybe because these projects take so much time they have to be done just for oneself or close friends, and I have to love what I'm doing to finish it. Dora |
