What I think helps my sales ( usually 3 to 5 guitars a day) is that CBGs are virtually unknown where I live (west-central Illinois). Many people think that I invented CBGs! I give them a quIck history and I need to explain that traditionally these had 1, 2, or 3 strings.
I also demo on my guitars constantly through an amp. This attracts people to my booth. Everyone loves them, and a few buy them. I never try to make a sale. I just invite them to try one out (most say no), and I offer to answer any questions.
I have LOTS of business cards on hand so people can take them and share them.
I hope this helps. I don't claim to everything. Asks me anything anytime. There's also a group called "Sell Those Puppies" dedicated to selling builds.
