My Daisy Dorset

I created this button today.

This is my version of a daisy dorset button. 

I'm not sure if I will use it on a laptop cover or a purse.

I like this button so much I am going to make it in other colors.

PSM Experience - Week #11

September 2nd, our 11th day of selling.

We signed in today at 84 on the fill-in list. Our number didn't change this week.

This week we decided to finally try the ramp. Our space was #428. My mom and I both really liked this space. We talked about the space and considered the weather and how many people walk up the ramp. The people that use the ramp are families with strollers and bicyclist.

Early during the morning we had a couple walk up and sneak a picture of our table full of products. Then the man said it is made with good quality fabrics. No this didn't reek someone going to steal my designs at all. Now I just know I'm going to find my products being massed produced in China and sold all over the place. There isn't anything I can do about it.  =(

We had one sell today. We sold an iPad today. The lady that bought it for a gift for her nieces birthday party. I hope her niece likes it. =)

That is all for now!!!!

PSM Experience - Week #10

August 26th, our 10th day of selling.

We signed in today at 84 on the fill-in list. Our number didn't change this week.

We chose a different spot again today. This time we chose #412. We were across from the corner space we were at in July. The 300 and 400 row seem to get a lot of customers roaming through. Row 100 was very dead for us and we stayed there the first 4 times we were out there. We were going to try the ramp today but it was full by the time we were allowed to chose.

We had a lot of customers stopping by. We noticed that a lot of the customers wanted to feel the kindle or ipad covers to see if they were padded and soft. We also noticed a lot of customers looking at the cup cozys. The red pirate messenger bag, ipad cover and cup cozy all seem to attract the customers attention.

Mom and I decided we were going to start working on a new product that may sell out there. We haven't decided what exactly.

We didn't have any sales this weekend.

That's all for now

PSM Experience - Week #9

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.
