I've already made a couple of posts and haven't yet introduced myself, oops! I'm Susan and I just started as a business about a month ago. Up until then I had never sold any of my jewelry. But I found an opportunity to do a show in a local mall, a Holiday Boutique actually. So I hurried up and got a seller's permit the night before the show. After that, I got the business license and DBA. Now I'm in the next phase of business startup and looking at the accounting side of things. The show turned out ok, it was a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There was very little foot traffic because this mall basically only has theaters and restaurants. But I made enough to cover my costs and have a little left over. And it was great for the experience. I did a trial run of my display table in my garage beforehand, which really helped.
Anyway, hello and glad you are here!
