First Gun Show Table

I recently mentioned in another thread that I would be selling at a local gun show in Wichita. I thought I would report on how that business went.

Attached, you will see some shop pics and show pics. You'll see my banner, my set-up, my prices, etc. I put a lot into the marketing angle, and I feel like it was well received.

Sales were modest at a few hundred dollars (3 of 12 knives offered were sold). The show was not advertised as a gun and knife show, just a gun show.

The biggest show of the year is the Chisolm Trail Gun and Knife show and I will be there. It is now twice a year, and I think I can make that work.

I'll let you know how that one goes too.
