I think folks like the idea of offers of a certain number at a slightly reduced price. I think they'll sell well that way.<br />When I did a reduction in price of my cards at my choir at the last rehearsal of the season, lots went like hot cakes!<br />Well done with finishing in time and all success at the fair.<br />ChrissieChrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155624052405745793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-19654762450479093732010-06-18T22:18:16.702+01:002010-06-18T22:18:16.702+01:00Hi Julia,

I think you've probably priced them well although in hours and work that goes into them they should be selling for a lot more. Unfortunately at fetes and fairs etc., no one wants to pay more than 50p for everything :) and I'm sure they'll all sell at your very reasonable rate.

You will know if you charged too little or just the right amount by the end of the day. I know it seems like a lot of time and effort for very little cash, but unless you are selling in a boutique, most craft fairs don't draw a crowd that can appreciate all the time, money, and effort you put into these cards. And I really LOVE the hearts. <br /><br />Like me, you managed to beat your deadline.

Can't believe you're only pricing the cards at a pound. Unfortunately though (as others have said) most folks want a really cheap bargain and have no idea what's involved to make them in the first place. Good luck with the fair and whatever you decide.<br /><br />BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-53657159850998203632010-06-18T11:35:01.210+01:002010-06-18T11:35:01.210+01:00Thanks for visiting and commenting (and ooops I fo...Thanks for visiting and commenting (and ooops I forgot one f in my text - saw that now and corrected it). Lovely bunch of cards - I would say they were not expensive enough - but I do not know your market - here in DK nobody would charge less than 2 or 2.50 but if customers are not prepared to pay that - its better to get some trade on a day like that I guess.
