Sherwood Forest 2012

[knighthorse]

I am starting to worry about our sales out at Sherwood. I keep telling myself that we do most of our sales at the end and to not worry. But while some around us are seeing record sales, ours seem to have dropped. It's making me panic. And that kind of mindset is not good for productivity. I've messed up a couple of the pieces I was working on today

Relax, breathe, allow... the early bird don't always get the worm. Sometimes it's the gentleman who's all stocked up & twiddling his thumbs when a whole crew of random peeps wander through at the very end.

I would very much love for that to happen! I'm doing better, even though our sales for this last weekend were even more dismal than the last.

Very, very true :)

I ended up doing yard work. It was good and cathartic. I'm doing better. This last weekend was even worse as far as sales, but I'm not freaking out this time. It is... what it is...

A lot of faire sales seem to happen the last weekend...regular fairegoers have had their eye on something for a few weeks, and then they finally get it before faire closes. I bet your booth is one like that :) Of course, you could always play around with your organization, see if rearranging things stirs up the 'buying' energy, perhaps?

I didn't have noooo moneys last weekend, so I was just helping Brendan pick out stuff to spend his on :) That was fun too.

It's one of those things that is hard to gauge. It's very unpredictable. And, of course, weather trumps all. I talked to several people who had felt that Sherwood was perfectly poised to really fill the parking lots. All we can do at this point is to see what the next three weekends bring us.
