Welcome to another day at the PCG!
The other day on Facebook, member Anne from
Artinkulate asked a question.
Girls/guys,
I was just wondering what some of you think about the growing trend of
asking stall holders to provide raffle prizes? We already pay our table
fees & petrol expenses to & from the fairs. If,like me this is
your only form of income, It's just another thing to eat into my
takings, which at times don't even cover the table cost. I'm inclined to
think it's a bit of a cheeky ask.What do some of you think?
Are other crafters finding that this happens alot? If so, what are your thoughts?
As
small crafters it is always hard to make ends meet and craft fairs
charge a large amount for tables, plus the insurance, petrol to get
there. Giving away stock for prize draws is just an extra cost isn't it.
Please leave us a comment to let us know how you feel about this and how you would respond to it.
We have another new member for you to meet.
