    Hi, I'm exhibiting at the ploughing champions this month and I'm really unsure about how much stock to bring. The last show I did my conversion rate was 5%, using this figure I'm looking at selling over 7,500 at the championship!! This is obviously impossible for me to do. Does anyone have any suggestions on how much stock I should bring? Thanks

    I sell handbags. It's a set price per square metre but you can bargain the price.

    I'm also going to the championship for the first time this year. I'm going to be in the retail area selling wool, fabric and patterns. Would love any advise from other traders. My main aim is to advertise my website.

    We recently did a much smaller scale show. We were the only ones there doing a demo and there were times when we had almost everyone there in our area which was a little awkward with all the eyes from the other stall holders on us! I would suggest take as much as you can (better to have to much than too little!) and if you possibly can do some kind of demonstration.
