GEP Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Post pandemic buying energy is still very high, continuing from last fall. I had my first show of 2022 this past weekend. I prepared a whole lot more work than my previous best sales results from this show. A lot of artists there had fabulous weekends! The crowds were big and they wanted to spend.

They are hungry for your pots and you will kill it. The pot fever is strong now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Congratulations Mea! That’s awesome. I’ll let you guys know if the trend is holding true in this part of the world after this weekend. I have a couple of small markets the next two weekends, and I’m going to try and get a few things listed online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piedmont Pottery Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I think this is a highly regional thing. In my area gallery sales have remained low ever since the Delta variant hit. This has been somewhat offset by demand for classes, which has been high throughout the pandemic and remains strong now. It's great to hear that potters in other areas are doing well with sales.

Callie Beller Diesel Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Welp, the first spring market I’ve done since 2019 was reasonably impressive for a 1 day affair! A couple of repeat customers, and lots of mugs sold as always. I was interested to note that there was a lot more cash today than I’ve seen in 2 years. Before the pandemic, I could usually count on half to 3/4 of my sales being cash, with more cards being present during the holidays. During the last 2 years I almost considered stopping carrying a float at all because I’d go for weeks with no cash sales. Today about a third of my take was cash again.

Clay17 Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Yesterday I just finished my second show for the year I also see an uptick in sales as well as well as credit card usage. Pre-pandemic cash sales was easily 70%, last year 35% was in cash, and so far this year is 20% in cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
