Finally Sold Out
I finally sold the last six wine snack trays this week to a repeat customer. I made 50 of these trays up this spring because I needed to add new products to the mix, plus they are such a functional and useful item. They sold so slowly at first that when I went to the Foothills Fall Festival, I didn’t even set them out in the booth initially. On the second day, I was selling out of some products and was pulling everything out of my trailer to fill product holes in my booth display. I finally set two boxes of the trays out and they immediately started selling. I sold the remaining 10 to one customer at the Avondale show the following weekend.
I had six more sitting in the shop that were cut out and sanded, but didn’t have the finish applied yet, and I wasn’t planning to do anything with them right now. A customer emailed and asked if I had any more, and when I told her six, she bought the rest. Sometime between now and when my first show of 2010 kicks off in March, I will be making more. I am probably going to mix it up a bit and add contrasting woods to give them a little more “wow” factor. These in the pictures are curly cherry and were just too pretty to add anything else to them. I also had walnut and ash ones.
