I keep trying stuff to see what works

This month I am trying something different in my Good Juju space.  See all of the blue tags?

They border on obnoxious, huh?  That is the point, I hope.  

My booth is piled floor to ceiling with small things.  And they do pretty good most of the time, I think people enjoy the treasure hunt.  But I also think that they are so focused on the mountains of minis that they do not see the bigger picture.

That furniture underneath the massive stacks is for sale too!  And I am done with my umbrellas, am ready for a new entryway display, so they are also gaudily tagged.

Sadly, I rarely sell furniture.  Oh, a piece here and there, but usually small and extra inexpensive.  (Not that I have anything high dollar anyway)

People probably don’t even notice the tables, shelves, and dressers.  So, I tried to tag them in a way that made it obvious.

It certainly is a scramble when someone does buy a table, since there is a possible avalanche of goods on top of it.  But,  I am always happy to unload and redo.  It’s like a timed design challenge, to reshuffle as fast as I can while shoppers are looking around.

I like my spot to have a different look each month, so I don’t want the same furniture there forever and I am constantly hauling things back and forth from home.  Which is inefficient.  I’d much rather sell some and find more pieces to fix up and redo.  

Well, we will see, huh?  This month is my one year anniversary at the venue, I am still trying new things.   It’s also my birthday Friday while I’m there.  My second Good Juju birthday weekend with post concussion season.  (Not a tradition that I want to continue!)
