Country Cellar's Sales Coming To An End
For whatever reason, sales this year have been very low. Last winter I made a good $300 there, the year before was $150. This year.........I called a few times but they didn't need a restock on anything that I'd brought to sell this time around, which is discouraging.
The main issue, I think, is that they don't advertise so the clientele that does go to the shop for the 8 weeks it's open are all the same people every year. They buy what they like one year and don't need to buy it again the next year. It's a closed system so to speak.
Ah well. I thought I had some good stuff there this year but I'll be selling the items elsewhere soon. The last day the store's open is this coming Sunday. I'll pick up my unsold merchandise and try to think of something else for next year.
The average person they sell to is between 25 and 50, female, urban. That's generally not the category I make things for.
