Yesterday was my first home-based business event, and it was definitely a success. Sure, there are some lessons learned, but I'm so glad I participated and got my name out there in the community. Here is a picture of my table.
About an hour into the show I also added a couple infant dresses to the table to gain more interest, and that definitely worked. I gave out lots of cards, made lots of contacts, and hopefully I will be getting some more orders soon.
What were the negatives, you ask? Well, the room was freezing and I was right under the air vent. Next time I plan on bringing a thermos with hot tea in it. Also, I wasn't too fond of my table cloth. I had a purple one, but at the last minute I couldn't find it! I need a more appealing color. And lastly, I will definitely bring flip-flops to change into after the show! I wore these fabulous heels during the event, but then had to lug all my stuff back to my car and I was cursing myself for not bringing a change of shoes.
What was my most popular item, you ask? Not even clothes! It was the military diaper bag!
Makes sense...military population, military interest. But I did receive one inquiry about a renaissance costume! I was giddy inside! How fun would it be to make one???
