I'm making some coasters to sell at a gift fair soon. For those of you who have sold coasters, do you find that there is any particular sales advantage to selling them in a rack or holder vs. without? I'm just thinking about the price break here. Anyone have a source for racks?

Thanks,

Cliff

i dont make coasters, but i own some absorbent stone ones, no rack. i dont like racks, Cliff. i vote for skipping that part.

I sell quite a few coaster sets, and many people particularly remark on how much they like the rack. Particularly if it is for a gift. So, I've only been selling them with one.

Aftosa carries them.



I vote for the rack.

ps. "Hi" Kitty.

hey steve, may i say how SPLENDID your coasters are? those are my kinda colors. very handosome! the rack doesnt make me sick, either. lol.

ps -- looks like you're movin' right along with production. you thinkin' about maybe quitting your day job?

Thanks Kitty. I'm still waiting to see more pics of your work.

How much are you selling your coasters for, with and without the rack? How much is the rack? Thanks. barbara

I don't include a rack. The rack Steve is using is really attractive though and I would surely consider that if you can recoup that cost in your sales price.

I just stack the four together and the bumpons keep them seated well. I tie them together with a decorative ribbon or twine for the holiday bazaar type shows since they stay together better that way , but leave them unwrapped for the gifty or arty galleries I sell through. $60 or so is what they are getting for the retail pricing for a set of 4 in the 3.5 to 4 inch range in my area.

Cynthia,

Thanks for the comments on my rack

I used to tie them with raffia, but I like the rack better.

I agree on the pricing.
