My Last sale of the year.

[Jim Finn]

     Yesterday I went to my last scheduled sale of the year.
Driving in the rain and in the dark both ways. Ugh! It is in a small town an hour and twenty minutes north of me. Last year I had a great sale there. Not so much this year. Last year, at that venue, I sold 35 of my boxes but only 11 this year.

Rain=Not many shoppers.

      Even though this years event was disappointing, my years total sales were only $70 less than last years total. Less than one percent drop. I did 20 sales events this year whereas I usually did 25 in past years. I do have one small order to fill this year yet, but no more scheduled sales. I may skip this venue next year.

Not complaining, just reporting in.<grin>

Jim your sales didn't sound all that bad when you compare the dollars but then there is profit to compare. It's driving that far that would get to me. I am sure that there must be a lot of sales you could go to this time of year.

This was an indoor venue.  The only one I do all year.  Yes Don, the drive is not the fun part.  No, There are no other sales nearby  going on in November or December that I know of, or can afford.

Jim, I wouldn't be to quick to pull the plug on this venue. The results though disappointing, can probably be blamed on the rain. People just don't attend these events in miserable weather.
