Today is the end of the Alaska Wholesale Gift Show. It was a fast 3 day show. The name of the game is ~ set-up, sell, sell, sell, break down. There's always long stretches of down time & then flurries of activity when it seems like there's never enough time to answer all the questions. During the show I always worry I'm not writing enough business but usually by the end of the 3 days it's all good!
I am lucky I have a fabulous rep. She invites me to be in her booth & it's really a team effort as we work together to sell to old & new customers. She's also a rep for another company who sets up across the isle from us so there's lots of collaboration between the reps & artists. It's fun to see everyone annually & catch up. For the vendors it's a social time as well as business.
I feel so blessed to have such great gallery & gift shop owners who carry my work. They have been good to me. Thanks for a great show & I'm looking forward to a successful 2009.
