Iguanadon Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Had my first event, was supposed to be 2 days (Friday and Saturday) but a threat of storms and wind Friday caused me to err on the side of caution and I didn't attend day 1. I arrived bright and early this morning for day 2 and set up. Beautiful weather, huge crowd but mostly just lookers. Had a good day selling 56 puzzles in just 6 hours. I had a goal of 100 for the 2 days, so I'm happy with 56 for 1 day. My biggest 1 day event is next Saturday. Sold 95 each of the last 2 years so of course that's the goal for this year. EDIT - The last 2 years at my best 1 day event I was still selling the raw kids puzzles at half the price of my signature puzzles. Now that I don't sell them, I need to sell 80 signature puzzles this year to hit the same amount of $$$ as the past 2 years at the upcoming event. And the fun begins!

trackman Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 How do you keep the puzzles together when you move them? I am guessing the ones on the table are for display? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the 130 unique dogs/animals that I display, I take anywhere from 80-200 duplicates depending on the event. The dupicates are shrink wrapped and ready to hand out. jbrowning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a small L-sealer and tunnel (or a seal & shrink machine), or do you seal and shrink all of these with a bar sealer and heat gun?

They are shrink wrap bags and only requires a heat gun or high heat hair dryer. I did a quick video showing the simple process. I buy the bags from Amazon when I can find them 9x12 or slightly larger. jerrye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjweb Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Way to go Iggy, we should put together a pool of how many puzzles you sell this year, RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mathematical algorythm would be quite interesting taking into account expected rainfall for the next 8 months in the Mayberry Beach area. Rain (and Hurricane Florence) ruined a great year that was in motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
