Has anyone held 'make & take' classes for your customers? I want to implement something new for those crafty customers. What has been your experience and what was your best class offering. Thought I would offer a 10% discount for any instore purchase of gift, home decore items to those attending the class. I have room for eight to make & take. I've costed out a fall wreath class; all product + instruction = $50. Any thoughts pro & con appreciated.

I have been doing these classes for years, first in a craft store and then when I opened the shop here. Our price point is much lower $10-15 for adult classes. When the price point gets over $20 there is limited response. We teach a new "concept" each class, but they always have something nifty to take home. We are always pretty much at capacity often not having enough spots especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas when we add classes. I don't make a bundle on the classes but they have produced some of my most loyal customers who have a good idea what their limitations are 
We have even done this as a pre-wedding girls night out. I know there are critics of this theory but in my market it works for me.
