Festivals, Fairs and Facts

If you love to visit festivals and craft fairs, it's likely your home is full of items that didn't come from a store. When it comes to having unique decor that can be great but when someone asks where you got a particular piece, or you need a replacement or repair, you can be left without a clue. Luckily, there's an easy way to track your purchases no matter where you buy them.

Stockpile is the perfect way to keep track of all your purchases, even the ones you make at festivals and fairs.  Stockpile fast easy inventory solution is fully customizable, allowing you to use the fields that make the most sense to you. Pieces purchased from individual vendors aren't going to have barcodes, UPCs or any other standardized info like that. You probably want to add fields such as vendor name, the name of the fair or festival, the artisan's address, website, etc. Then when someone admires a piece you can tell them exactly who you bought it from, when and where. If your piece becomes damaged and you need a repair or a replacement you'll know who to contact and how to get in touch with them.

Some of the same vendors show up at the same fairs and festivals year after year. Having records in Stockpile can keep you from repurchasing an item you already own or help you decide which new piece would be the perfect complement to your collection. Stockpile is mobile compatible so you can access your inventory data anytime from anywhere. Plus, you can include pictures in your item records for visual verification. When you said "small bowl" did you mean that super small one or the smallish one? What shade of blue do you already have? Is it blue, light blue, aqua blue? You get the idea, having a picture can really come in handy.

Another benefit of keeping records is allowing you to track vendor prices. Have you ever been at a fair and it seemed like everything was really expensive? It may have been months since you last attended a fair or festival so you can't be sure, but it seems like that bowl, painting, frog, etc didn't cost that much the last time you bought one. If you included your purchase price in Stockpile fast easy inventory solution you'll be able to quickly and easily confirm whether their prices really are higher or if they just seem that way. It's a great way to avoid buyer's remorse because you think you paid too much. Often vendors will adjust their prices to the particular event, weather, or other factor.  If you know how the current price compares to what you previously paid you can make an informed decision on whether you want to buy or wait.
