Active vs Passive selling experiment results

So over a month ago I asked if people were actively selling or just sitting at their booths. Amusingly someone said "You are not a carnival barker" , when I actually *was* one at one point. Anyway, at a recent show I had a chance to test this, toward the end of the first day another vendor offered to by all remaining items at the end of the second day (for a discount) for their brick and mortar store.

I make costume horns, ears and hairclips, 3D printed, from original designs only.

The first day I was active, if you made eye contact, if your eyebrows went up when you saw my product, if your costume used similar parts, I would call you over, do my whole humorous spiel, etc.

The second day I was pretty passive, I sat back and only interacted if people came up to the table and talked, otherwise I was working on my tablet or sketching.

Results: Day 1: $2100, Day 2:$800

When I was actively selling, I sold more higher price items, when I was passive I sold more smaller items.

Your mileage may vary, of course.
