Swap meet 3: Glendale college Swap meet

Our third swap meet Glendale college Dec 18th

Cost for space $40 (Coupon was for first time only)

– how it went

We looked up the weather and the rain should stop 2 days before the swap meet, so we should be good to go. We decided to sign up for a space. Right before Christmas should be good for sales, right?

I remembered again to bring the 2×4 pieces to level my tables on this hill, and I am really glad I did. The entire day we were hearing glass breaking. I don’t think anyone else had level tables.

This time we had a $1 table and to see if that attracts more people to our booth. Continue reading “Swap meet 3: Glendale college Swap meet”

I decided to attend the Maker Faire to promote our DIY blog HowToEngineering.com

We have many items we made on the website that we had around the house, so we were able to bring them and show people! There were over 600 people there in the few hours we were there. This is a lot of free promotion for my company, I handed out almost all my fliers and over half my business cards!

Swap meet 2: Glendale College

Our second swap meet – Glendale College Nov 20, 2016

how it went:
Cost for space $35 (With coupon)

It went OK. Right after we setup the rain started. The rain was on and off all day and not too many customers. We made one sale that really saved our day, before that we would not have broken even.

I know this parking lot is sloped on a hill. I came prepared with 2×4 wood pieces that I used to level the tables. I bet we were the only ones there that thought of that on their first time! Continue reading “Swap meet 2: Glendale College”
