My Experience at Headlander Festival

I'm planning to post a AVDWT Progress post tomorrow, I haven't done to much on it for a few days due to prepping for my stall at Headlander Festival.

This is the first stall I have done were the money I have made went into double figures. I earned £26 over seven items.

 My first customer came quite early on at about half one (we started trading at twelve). In total we had five customers. Most wanted to know if I was going to be doing the market today or if I was going to be selling my artwork at comicon. I have concidered trading at comicon's before but I never ended up going through with it. But I'm going to look into trading at Doki Doki which is held in Manchester every two years I believe. A few people told me they had seen worse artwork being sold at bigger comicon's like Mcm, complements like that gave me quiet a ego boost.

As for the stall today I didn't realize people could do both days but I'm glad I only chose to do the one since it was a long day and chances were I would be on my own on the second day.

But here are some pictures of my stall.



My best selling items were notebooks and mini canvases.
I had my mini canvases at £3.50 but after quite a few people picked them up seemed to like them just to put them down and move on I knocked off the 50p to see if that would do the trick, and it did. By the end of the day I sold two one couple was so happy with the mini canvas and notebook I had sold them they gave me a bear I presume they won from somewhere.

The notebooks that sold were the A6 and A4 notebooks, I'm starting to think when I have an item priced at for example £2.50 the extra 50p puts people off.

After looking at the other stalls I saw they were using crates to make more levels on their stalls. I'll have to try and fine some for future stalls. I may also get some storage box's to put in bigger items like my folders and tote bags so people can rummage through them and so I can spare some space on the table for other items. 

I only bought a few notebooks to test the waters with them but after this stall I'll be looking to buy them in bulk.

If any of the items on my stall caught your eye the leftover items are available to buy from me please check out my facebook page for more info www.facebook.com/Raelxarts
