One of the problems with this model is that there need to be large numbers of new visitors and not just repeats who just come to look at someone working! This is the fundamental confusion on any marketing for Ty Pawb – some business units will be requiring lots of new customers as they are likely to only make one-off purchases then you have those businesses that will require repeats from the same customer base as their ideal would be at least one or two times a week.[/quote]
JaneJ:- I agree with you that you would need a large new regular number of visitors to make a success of a woodturner, potter, artist business.
From my experience in the market and craft fairs. I used to make cold cast bronze figures, my market stall in Wrexham would probably sell on average £70 worth of these figures per week. I used to attend craft fairs all over the country and would expect in two days trading to return a figure around £400. This is the difference in meeting new customers each week in different locations rather than being static.
