Valentines Day & Wedding Season

[Carl Martin]

I'm doing a jewellery fair on valentines day - not sure if its going to work out or not...

I think the principle of what this organiser is trying to do is very good. My only thought is holding it on the 14th you've kind of missed the boat. Surely the week before or even the Saturday being the 13th would have been a much better and safer option to do in terms of potential sales.
A jewellery fair promoting a specific occassion and holding it on the day seems rather strange to me.
I sincerely hope it goes very well and my reservations are unfounded.

Yes they were my concerns exactly Carl. Luckily it is not an expensive event and I decided it was worth a punt!

If they held the event on the Saturday that would have been better. You never know though, there could be some latecommers who want to buy something beautiful from you and 'personally deliver' their valentines on the day! I wish you all the very best and let us know how you get on.

Well i'm hoping that couples will make a special trip to the fair to choose presents for themselves, but we'll see!

Will report back to let you know how I got on!

Valentine's day caught me a bit by suprise. I always knew it was coming up and I even have ideas but nothing made yet. And now time is running out. I'll probably have things ready when the shopping window for valentine's day is closed again.

I had a jewelry making break during most of December because of Christmas markets and a burglary at my house, and now I'm without home computer and have only just started working on my jewelry again, so I'm soooo behind..

Oh no, sorry to hear about the burglary! Thats horrid!

Don't despair though, you still have time to make a few bits for Valentines Day

or make some things that will last past Valentines. Not everone wants things with hearts on. That way if they aren't quite finished in time it doesn't matter.

Wedding season kicks off in January. There is always a competition between local hotels as to who can get the first wedding fayre of the year....it usually is the busiest in our area. I am off to the first one this Sunday and thankfully my business cards arrived from vista print today! I am also doing another wedding fayre at the end of January. The next biggy is Valentines Day. There are always quite a few wedding fayres around then heading into March. The wedding season usually dies down about the end of October as people turn their thoughts to Christmas but that's not to say that there are not any weddings. I did quite a few last minute orders in 2009 for November and December. But on the whole my business dies a death in October.
