Bob,

Have you  ever done the Fine Furniture Show in Milwaukee? What is the domes, is that in Milwaukee and when is it?

I am waiting on Hidden river as well. Never did many shows before. I did the show at the domes last year and did pretty well. My stuff is higher priced and it was one of the better shows I have done. Everything sold in 1 day. Show ran 3 days. Wish they would cut back to 2. I am doing some shows at Highland Park in Illinois. Also doing some  up in northern Wisconsin. I have done the fox valley and door county. Not much good to report.

This is my first year so can't say much about the shows. I will be doing Park Point Art show in Duluth, MN week of June 29th. Waiting on acceptance for Kohler Art Festival in July and Hidden River in Sept. Anyone do these shows in the past.

I see that there have been no posts for 8 months, is this group still active? 

Has anyone ever done the Park Point Art Show in Duluth, MN? Applied and waiting for acceptance. Have family in Duluth and travel there ever few months so thought as long as going there anyway might as well try it.

I had decided to cut back on my arts and crafts shows for this year and, by the time I changed my mind, I was too late to apply to many of the events in which I would have liked to paticipate.  So, now I'm beginning to look at 2013 because I don't want to make that same mistake again.  In light of that, I would be interested in hearing from others on the subject of, in which shows have you had your greatest successes?  From experience, I know that a show can be the highest rated show on Earth and still not be real great for the woodworkers.  So, I'm trying to isolate some of the shows in which woodworkers have done well.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Etsy site, but oddly sold more at first than now. I maintain it though as it seems a good avenue to self promote for the cost even if I don't sell much there.

I listed items on Etsy for quite some time, I think my account might be inactive as I haven't updated my credit card.  I had lots of "viewing" of my products, but one sale.  Seems like the views come from other Etsy listers.  Perhaps the one good thing is it created a bit more traffic to my website.

I've also tried eBay, no luck, except for the first time when I didn't know to put a price that I would accept and had to sell the item for .99!!!!!  Big time lesson learned.  Also tossing around the idea of listing on Amazon.  We all know the key to success is sales and marketing, but it is so hard when you also have the product to make!
