Carpet
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2003 9:42 am
I just had my first art/craft show last weekend. Sales sucked (but they sucked for everyone else too).
After reading the debate over wether or not to put carpet in you booth, I decided to give it a try (got a $30 area rug at Wal-Mart). Best I can tell, I was the only booth (out of 150 or so) to have any flooring.
I don't know that the carpet helped my sales at all, but it certainly didn't hurt any. The booths were setup in the street (black asphalt) and I think the carpet helped keep the temp down. A friend with her Siberian Husky came by. The husky gave the carpet a big two paws up - didn't want to leave and go back onto the asphalt.
For a hot, dry show it was definately a good idea. We'll have to wait and see how I feel about it after getting it wet.
