I agree. I often use a U shape table setup and prefer to either stand or sit on a stool that is placed a little to the rear. I don’t want to be “in their face” but I want to appear open and friendly. I see vendors hiding in the rear of their booths, and they don’t make as many sales as those who are either out front or close to the front. Bracelets and necklaces should be on some kind of theft-guard chain (Yvonne Williams has a youtube video on making one). As for rings, I use a glass-topped wooden case that opens on my side of the table. I learned how to sell (and I’m still learning) by watching the vendors who were making a lot of sales and imitating what they did and how they greeted and answered questions.
