question: pricing at wholesale show

updated thu 31 jul 97

We are getting ready to do our first ACC craft show (San Francisco) and I
am wondering how to present the wholesale pricing:

1. Put wholesale price on each object and on the price sheets.

2. Put retail price on everything and state that wholesale discount is
50%.

I think different shows may do it different ways, and I'm wondering how
it is done at the ACC shows.

Thanks for your help.

LeRoy,
My recollection is that ACE has thier own form which you post in a
standardized location in your booth. The buyers know exactly where to
look. I usually post my prices on each piece as wholesale and change over
when retail days come.
