[Jewelry making - Article 00375] - [Orchid] First wholesale show

Hi, Folks,

    I'm embarking upon my first wholesale show, and am looking for tips.
    I read an article in the Crafts Report some time ago, and can't find
    it now! So if you know which article I'm referring to, that would
    help, as would any other written resources! 

    But I'm also looking for just common sense stuff. I plan to have two
    product lines...one that's a lower price point (etched) and another
    higher (cloisonne), and to make up forms for ordering. Display will
    be simple. I guess I'm looking for anything that will ease the
    process... display tips (I'll have a 4 X 6 foot table), policies for
    buying (e.g. should I have a minimum order? Require a percentage of
    the cost up front?), other? 

    Somehow I always find myself on the steep part of the learning
    curve! Any suggestions are Most Appreciated!
