HOW THE SIGNAL WORKS

A decision helper—not an automatic yes or no

Strong Rebook means the event is profitable, your profit per hour meets or beats your own target, and ROI is at least 50%.

Worth Reviewing means the event is profitable but one or more return measures are below that strong-rebook range.

Think Twice appears when the event loses money or your profit per hour is well below your stated target. Audience fit, repeat customers, weather, and future opportunity can still affect your final decision.

What the event recap numbers mean

Net profit

Net event profit = total sales − all entered event costs. Include the cost of the products you sold so revenue is not mistaken for profit.

Profit per hour

Profit per hour = net profit ÷ total event hours. BoothMinty includes prep, travel, setup, teardown, and selling time because all of them are part of what the event asked from you.

ROI

ROI = net profit ÷ total entered costs × 100. This shows how much profit the event returned relative to the money you put into it.

Sell-through rate

Sell-through = units sold ÷ units brought × 100. Use it as one clue for future inventory planning, while remembering that product mix matters too.

CRAFT FAIR EVENT RECAP FAQ

Common post-event questions

How do I know if a craft fair was worth it?

Start with actual sales and subtract product costs plus every event expense you paid. Then compare the remaining profit with the full time you invested. Profit per hour, ROI, sell-through, audience fit, and repeat-customer potential can all matter.

What is profit per hour for a craft fair?

It is your net event profit divided by all the hours you spent on the event, including prep, travel, setup, selling, and teardown. It helps you compare markets that demand very different amounts of time.

What does sell-through rate mean?

Sell-through rate is the percentage of the inventory you brought that sold. For example, selling 40 units after bringing 80 is a 50% sell-through rate.

Does a “Think Twice” result mean I should never return?

No. It means the financial return you entered deserves a closer look. Weather, unusual attendance, a poor booth location, repeat customers, wholesale leads, or an event that is still growing may change your decision.
