Being a marketer sucks
So I've got a batch of earrings and holder set up, they're painted just a bit for accent. I also made a necklace holder. I haven't tested it but I'm confident all the same. It just bolts onto the loop latch on my hatch back glass. It's an antler! it's got a fine collection of prongs to hold lanyards up and they'll display right at eye level. Then behind them, I'll hook the earring racks onto the car's water sealant strip under the glass hatch. The tailgate and two tables make up the rest of my "booth" and I've got a crude sign to set upright behind the seats to finish the tiny gallery. Even funnier, unlike many folks I don't have to order a full wholesale set of blanks to have enough stock "on hand" from week to week. I only need to be sure I keep a stock of filament! It takes a lot less space than finished items.
I did a quick calculation last night and figured I'd make $150 off it and that was depressing then this morning I remembered I'd already decided to set the price at $20 instead of $10. I keep having trouble remembering my own prices!
Lesseee, luggage, $50 No $40 item (ought to set the luggage at $45, they'd choke less) Lovely boxes $30 Earrings $20 Eyeball case $10 Bracelet $5 and necklace at $10
Yes, that's enough over material costs on any one item to ensure some profit, and the jewellery is lower labour to offset the high labour of the underpriced boxes.
People really don't understand and I can't teach them. It's hard. No, I won't lower the luggage, they're worth $100 each to me and it's a gift to sell them at $50. if they don't love the thing that much, they can't have it. I can quite happily decorate my own home with them if they won't sell at that price. I really love them that much.
So I need to set up today's agenda and I'm still waiting on one of my stops to hear if/when I can pop by. It's time I did some going out stuff and what's more, we're almost out of toilet paper. That's a bad thing. It's the #1 thing people pack when they travel to less civilized realms! We do love our bum wipes.
