: 75/25 is a very decent split. Shopkeepers frequently take 50/50 or
: 60/40.

: At a craft fair, you go for earning 10 times the booth fee. If the
: booth fee is so high that you can't possibly henna 10 times that
: during the period of the show, don't go. If you don't make your
booth
: fee ten times over at the show, don't go back.

Thanks for the input.

A suggestion for those doing street fairs...if you are faced with
high booth fees, you can always share a booth with someone selling
something complementary, or ask a vendor if you can take a little
corner or his/her space for your henna set-up. You can pay a
percentage of the booth fee (maybe based on the percentage of the
booth that you use) or a percentage of what you make (a safer bet if
you don't get many customers, but may end up being more expensive if
you do well).
