The Ky Crafted Market

[genek]

Today was the first dayof the KY Crafted Market. We sold 1,000 cutting boards today to a coporate client at a wholesale price of $20.00 each. I have not totaled the full orders yet.. we picked up over 8 new customers and had at least 12 of our old customers come and place orders. The coporate account was just one of our big orders. Joseph Beth book store is also getting ready to place a big order with us...This results are why I only do Juried shows and it goes to show if you have a good product you can make sales. Everything we sold is cut on the Shop bot.

That is awesome! Good for you guys!

What's really cool is when a potential customer asks, "Can you make 1000 of these?" What scale of production........that's cool...

Now let's see, oil, plus glue up the panels (pre cut the strips for the glue up), THEN cnc cut them, OK I get it! ;)

For a strickly cnc job all I can say is well done and congrats! Nice booth and a very nice variety of product on display. It certainly shows that you are NOT a one trick pony, good show. Russ
