John,
If you can use your exisiting equipment, give it a try. You may end up liking the opportunity to "show your skills" in public.

Well, it is official, The men's cologne rep has got the approval from her company and the dept store execs, so I will be doing on-site engraving for 1 Saturday right before Christmas. The pay is good, don't know what the crowd temperement will be like. At least I don't have to be away from my shop during a regular business day, even tho I am open on Saturdays, my partner can take care of 1 day without me.
I will only be engraving 1 brand of cologne with 2 different bottles, one is metal and 1 is glass, the metal container has a metal cap and the glass bottle has a plastic cap even tho they both look alike. I will have 4 different engraving scenireos, although I probably will not engrave on the glass bottle in the store. I will tell them to bring it to me later and I will do it on my laser for an extra charge.
If this goes well, she is wanting to do Valentines Day & Fathers Day also.

John,
Having worked "special occasions" for years, I can tell you what the temperment of the crowd will be.
They'll be in the Christmas spirit.
You know, fighting over parking spaces, ripping a last-of-its-kind item from the hands of another shopper and whining to you that 5 minutes is way too long to wait for a custom piece of work.
I'm going "under the microscope" for a few days in December.
We'll have to compare notes after the dust settles :-)
