August 19th, our 9th day of selling.
We signed in today at 84 on the fill-in list. Last week we were at 86. Our number keeps moving up inch by inch.
Today we chose a different spot again. We are still in the search for the perfect space for our booth out there. We chose under the bridge in isle 300 for this weeks trial. One of the suggestions we received from various vendors when we first started is to try different spaces out. What works for one vendor doesn't for another.
One of the vendors next store decided to move to a brighter space since they didn't bring any lights. We decided to open one side of the tent up so the customer could see our products better. It also allowed for a nice summer breeze.
We had a lot of people stopping and looking at our laptop and kindle covers. There was a lot of interest in those. We pasted out a lot of business cards to customers that stopped by. Customers would wonder over just to feel the laptops sleeves. The need to feel and touch is a selling point out here. I think we pulled down the messenger bags at least 10 times to show customers the inside. I'm not complaining. I'm just glad they are looking.
We talked a little bit about what our next step should be. We decided to try and get another product approved for sale out there before winter break. We would like to work on getting a bunch of them together before March opening. I will wait to tell you what it is until we decide for sure what product we will be working on.
Yay!!! Our fourth sale..... We sold an Eiffel Tower pillow cover in pink and black. We probably would have sold the rose pillow twice today, except we noticed that it was miss marked right before we broke down to go home.
That's all for now.
