Display and packaging are important for sales but you can spend as much time with that as the actual tatting and then spend so much on it that you don't make enough on the sale. Good to hear you did well.tattrldyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749374085792405962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-79389076446495841572016-06-05T21:30:29.570+01:002016-06-05T21:30:29.570+01:00Kathy yes it did take time and effort to get the r...Kathy yes it did take time and effort to get the right packaging for the bookmarks. I did not do the print outs though, some one far more talented did them but they certainly do make a difference. Now finding something for 3-D bells must have been challenging. I did fairly well thanks.Sally Kersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689082516157330679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-15910179557185141742016-06-05T03:32:53.676+01:002016-06-05T03:32:53.676+01:00I agree that your packaging is perfect, and I did ...I agree that your packaging is perfect, and I did also wonder where you got the bookmark bags. You certainly had to be patient to find and wait for them! Your sheet printouts are also excellent. <br /><br />I had to come up with a way to protect my 3-D bells, and found clear plastic cups fairly easily, but I wanted cups with lids, and it took me several weeks of driving to various stores to find those. (This was before the internet in the 1990s.) Hope you do well!

I wanted people to pick them up and look at them without getting them all grubby. Imagine my surprise when I went to the shop to see the display, and the owner had taken them all out of the baggies! I guess we all have different ideas.

If you want people to be able to handle items, you might consider having some just for display and then people purchase the packaged ones. I think most people would appreciate that. They get to handle your work and examine it up close, but they know they are taking home a 'clean' piece that has not been handled by others.
