This past weekend was the antique show. I was a bit worried about the type of inventory I was taking and if anyone would "get it" and if the other vendors would appreciate it. If you remember, I was doing a vintage "crafting" supplies theme I called "bits and pieces." The same type of items I will have for sale in the retail space of my classroom and studio at The Hobby Farm.
Yep, customers "got it" and I even sold some to the other vendors - win/win.
I didn't realize that the email I sent to the promoter was going to be reprinted word for word...in the Auction Action News...but, it was great! I had people coming up to me asking..."was this the quilt from Iowa?" So, I guess they read the article. I didn't read it - until after I had so many questions about the Iowa quilt pieces. Thanks Audre' for that and the awesome show this past weekend.
My little business purchased 5 tickets and randomly handed them out in the long line of customers waiting to come in to the show. I gave the first person in line one - as I loved all the freebies I got when I was first in line at Junk Bonanza. This type of organic advertising is how I have been building my business this past year. I plan to "keep grinding it..." as one of my customers put it...I had no idea what she meant when she said that to me on Sunday...I had her explain it...LOL
