Once again a lot of looking, not much buying. While sales picked up a bit, it was still really slow for a Saturday. Saturday everyone was hoping sales would pick up. One friend got up to roam around as she said she was about to fall asleep at her table. I don’t even think it was this slow for me at my first artist alley table (Fanime). However, Friday at AWA was abnormally slow. As a rule, first day sales are usually the lowest for the whole con as a lot of people are still in school or at work. I saw a lot of browsers, but people didn’t seem to be buying.įriday sales for me were probably some of the worst I’ve seen. However, this year not too many people seemed to be carrying ANYTHING. – and you can tell where their con budget went.

Usually, you see people coming through the AA with their hands full of stuff from the dealers’ room – collectables, plush, etc. And even the dealers’ were saying their sales were low as well which is a clear indicator that it’s not just you. Many artists were posting on social media and talking in person about slow, even outright dismal sales. I guess having done 20+ cons by now, I’m pretty blessed to only now have this happen. I had set a sales goal (as I always do) and this was the first con where I didn’t make or exceed it. Sales-wise, well, that’s where this con was a bit lacking. I always enjoy doing artist alleys cause where else can you be in a room with fellow creators who understand the ins and outs of being an artist? We had our tables next to each other and also shared a hotel room. It was a lot of fun hanging out with her and meeting her friend who runs ShouYume. Sales were good in 2013 and my friend from Sweet Fancy Cuteness was going again this year so I signed up to return. I started going to AWA as I have some artist friends who do this one every year and I wanted to meet them in person. This was Kimchi Kawaii’s second year of doing Anime Weekend Atlanta (AWA).
