What about stair stepped shelves on the back half of the table so you get a little more stacking /display space across and smack at eyeline? Looks awesome though!

Earrings are my favourite kind of jewellery, therefore wherever you stick them, I'm going to be looking for them and homing in on them. Sorry to have such an un-sophisticated approach to your carefully planned and beautiful display, but that's the way my mind works. I would notice and admire all the other things, I'd get excited about loads of them, I'd admire the layout, but you couldn't manage to hide from me the bit I most want to see.scotknithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591678429483700017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443605610590015121.post-25237748343681307272013-06-28T23:12:53.828+01:002013-06-28T23:12:53.828+01:00Sounds like you have found the perfect venue for y...Sounds like you have found the perfect venue for your stunning jewellery - it's so nice that you made good sales and lots of contacts.

I would try to go into responding to your thoughts on the stall but... I'm too frazzled to think about standing up even. (Sorry!) But I'm so glad that bracelet sold! xClaire Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696587663715627719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443605610590015121.post-28921189299402594382013-06-28T15:02:26.547+01:002013-06-28T15:02:26.547+01:00I like that you don't have too much competing ...I like that you don't have too much competing color going on in the background. The neutral wood lets your jewelry's colors stand out--but it might not translate that way on some peoples' monitors.<br /><br />The only thing that seems problematic are the lower items. I have trouble bending for items that are low to the table (tall and bad back) but I'll admit to having that problem with my own display, too. I just don't know how to get around it. <br /><br />I wish that I could give your display a better critique but I'm afraid that mine is in need of one, too!<br /><br />Beautiful jewelry & best of luck. :)Libellula Jewelry™https://www.blogger.com/profile/00085261168453003357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443605610590015121.post-34426005174612112013-06-28T14:22:19.249+01:002013-06-28T14:22:19.249+01:00First of all I’d like to say - Well Done and it’s ...First of all I’d like to say - Well Done and it’s good that you had a good time and sold well!<br /><br />I’d just like to give an outsider perspective, as I don’t know you so I can be totally “customer eyes” for you.<br /><br />At first glance, your stand looks very... brown. It’s not a very flattering colour to make your jewellery stand out. Colours change depending on what colour they are next to, and all your pieces are suddenly looking very dull colour wise. Which they are not. <br /><br />The shelf thing on the left of the photo looks as if you might knock it over if you reach in to touch things - I think it is a bit over stocked, and each piece would stand out more if there was less surrounding it. People don’t like to be overpowered by choice. If someone can’t decide, a lot of people choose nothing instead of something.<br /><br />Similarly with the display on the right - people like to touch and pick things up, try them on. If they feel uncomfortable or like they might knock something down, they might not touch at all. They are nice displays though and I wouldn’t discourage from using them.<br /><br />I like your fancy mannequin thing, but in my experience people tend to leave jewellery alone that's on a stand out display - as if they don't want to “spoil” your stall(!). Therefore I suggest making a feature out of it, and not really expecting anyone to buy what you put on it. Just have it as a trick to lure people in. Put it up on a pedestal.<br /><br />Also, do you have signage on your stall with your company name on? (A banner or some such thing). People need to know and remember your name so they can buy later on the internet. A mirror is also a must for any stall for trying on stuff etc.<br /><br />So all in all, good job! I know one can become too close to the project when you’re preparing for a fair. I’m trying to give good criticism, the type of things that I’d like to hear from someone with fresh eyes.<br /><br />You can obviously ignore it all if you like ;) Again well done for everything!elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164387433277028105noreply@blogger.com
