Hi, our gym is having its first home invitational meet in April next year, and we're in the midst of planning it (I'm a gym parent on the committee). The venue we've had to use does not allow outside concessions, so we cannot use that as a way to make a little money. So we were thinking of selling leos and other gymnastics stuff. Our issue is that we are in the Caribbean and a lot of our rec gymnasts who we would be selling the leos to cannot afford to pay a great deal for them. It's going to be hard to make any kind of profit on them when the selling prices really cannot go over $30/$35 (except for very special leos). Those of you who have been involved in selling stuff at your home meets, where do you buy the merchandise from to enable you to sell it at a profit? We would be buying online and having the stuff sent to US addresses for friends and family to bring when they are coming. We are going to look periodically for great sales at the sites I have seen mentioned here already, and I have been looking at the stuff on Discount Leotards as well. If any of you have suggestions I'd love to hear them.
Also, any other suggestions for revenue earners, other than food and drink? We will be selling programs, and we will have small ad spaces for good luck messages in the back pages. Is there anything gymnastics related that any of you have done a raffle for? Or auctioned off? I'd love some ideas to help make up for not having concessions!
