Dear Nissa,

    I just got finished with some trunk shows and the stores got 40% of
    sales, some require 50% but I won't do that due to my costs of
    transportation, hotel, and time. I am selling for them in the shows
    but they are processing the reciepts so I consider 40% fair, 25% is a
    great deal if they are doing advertising to support the show. Do you
    already have work in the shop? If not try to get them to buy pieces
    after the event to keep the momentum going for their customers...I
    would love to hear what others are working out on this kind of event.
    OH, and we are now calling them "Personal appearances" instead of
    trunk shows as people outside of the clothing and accessories
    industry don't really know what a trunk show is sometimes. 

Good Luck!
