This sounds very interesting! Was this a show planned by the assisted living association or did you ask permission to come in and sell? I was wondering about the price points, too.

@Sea Glass Jewelry – It depends on the retirement home; some homes cater to more affluent residents, others to less affluent.

However, either way, you’re right about the fixed income and general tendency to spend less.

I would recommend going in with a nice array of items between $8 and $50 – including clip-on earrings and easy-to-put-on necklaces and bracelets for the older ladies, as well as cool gifts they can purchase for their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Also simple pouches or gift boxes to take care of their gift-wrapping. You’ll be very warmly welcomed and have a lovely time as well as a nice profit!

I guess I’ve never thought of this because my assumption is that the price point would have to be on the lower end due to people being on a fixed income. As in under $30 or so. Is that generally true?
