Mood: KINDA TIRED, but pretty decent B)
HEY, I'm back from my second anime convention artist alley boothing experience...!!! :^D I boothed with harvestmoonluvr and keyblademewkasa from here on theOtaku! Here's a pic of us on the first day.
YEAH. This was my first time meeting harvestmoonluvr, actually. *-* A KOOL FRIEND.
I think this one went a little bit better than my first convention, but I still have things I know I need to improve on... The good news is I was actually able to MAKE BANK on this con YEAHHHHHH. a little bank. I was able to pay off the cost of the table and the new merch and still have a little left over. B);;; SO!!! TECHNICALLY BETTER THAN MY FIRST CON EXPERIENCE, I THINK.
I definitely sold more merch at this con than I did at my first convention. I still didn't sell many prints, but I at least sold some! I sold a couple of the Homura and Madoka print and Gon and Killua print, and one person even bought the Marth and Roy print. *U*/ And I think one person bought the Junkrat print. Surprisingly, no one bought any Pokemon Go prints. I WAS TOO LATE ON THE POPULARITY CURVE, I THINK........ Pokemon Go definitely dropped in popularity recently. Hopefully I'll be able to sell them eventually online or something;; I'm trying to work on setting up my online store. ;u;7
As far as the other merch goes, the overwatch charms sold pretty well! :o Idk if I ever posted them here, so here's a pic:
I think I sold at least one of each charm, so HOORAY. I sold like none of my old FE charms, though. Or like any FE stuff in general... ALAS! I think the only Fire Emblem things I sold were a Lucina charm, a Brady sticker, and an Owain sticker. AGAIN... I AM L8 TO THE POPULARITY PARTEE...
BUT YEAH, the small stuff was able to sell better... especially Junkrat...!! I only have a couple of Junkrat charms left, and I even sold out of Junkrat stickers. :O Granted I only bought 5 of each of the new stickers, but............. B)
I also ran out of the business cards that I brought to the con, which is super surprising to me. :0 WHICH MEANS I REALLY SHOULD SET UP AN ONLINE STORE SO PEOPLE CAN FIND MY STUFF AFTER THE CON HAHA;;;
There were times it was still kinda slow tho, haha;; ;u;7 idk I wish I had a way to make the table look more interesting or to just know more about what people are interested in buying;;; BUT! whatever.
I think I'm gonna try to booth at Animore again in 2017 in January, but I'm not really planning on buying new merch for the con. WE'LL SEE...!! But I'll definitely be setting up my store soon, and I'll open up commissions again once I finish school. YEAH, MONEY AND RESPONSIBILITIES!
Anyway hope y'all have a good day. :^Y Thanks for reading!
