Selling at Stoke-on-Trent is now my fourth convention to sell at, and although reasonably quiet still pulled a reasonable profit of £69.50. Surprisingly the thing that was most popular was a 7 postcard set of the BTS members which where £1 each or all 7 for £5. The deal seemed go down a treat, selling out of all prints including the display ones before we packed up. Other than that, two Haikyuu Kageyama A4 digital prints sold, plus several key rings and stickers.
On previous experiences I had disagreeable table partners or have tabled on my own. This time around however, I ended up tabling with a friend of mine, whom will be my partner for comic con too. This was our practice set up and experiment on how we work together and i have to admit it went well! Other than her forgetting one or two things at the beginning and having to return home to get them, everything went according to plan. However this is what it was for, this is the time to make mistakes and learn from them.
I feel that the Stoke-con experience wasn't the best for everyone, a lot of people where complaining about the lack of sales, even the guest artists weren't doing well. But I think the main problem for this was where we were situated in a good location but tucked around in a corner. Which is unfortunate but couldn't be helped. But for my as an individual looking back on it, I am walking away with a positive experience.
