Something Great

I have not blogged for a while due to work and home commitments. But something great happened this afternoon when I was contacted about exhibiting in an upcoming (2010)wedding show being held locally. I initially was skeptical when I got the phonecall because the number of the company was showing as a miss call on both my personal and business mobile phone. But, I decided to call the number back and behold to me, they were offering me something that was going to be of benefit to my company. Although, as I said, I was initially skeptical because I thought they were about to sell me advertising space. My usual answer to that is I have no budget for it right now. But when I heard the words FREE, my ears sprung open like a rabbit.

All that is required of the exhibitors which is not compulsory is to donate item(s) for the goody bags that they hand out to brides on the day. This is another form of advertising because I would know that apart from them getting my goods for free, I can also put in some of my fliers to advertise my product. And since I make all my accessories myself, am sure I can russle up something nice, prob earrings within a quid or so price range. That way, if it is earrings, I can also add a picture of a matching necklace and bracelet that they can come and buy by producing a voucher (part of my promotional fliers in the goody bag) and getting 10% off or buying something else I make and still get 10% off.

I would keep you posted as to how things are going. The exhibition is due to take place end of January 2010 but in the meantime, I have a xmas craft show coming up on Sunday and December 5th /6th 2009. So, I better get busy producing more things that I can take with me. That is mostly going to Jewellery and hampers, something tangilble for xmas. So come back regularly to find out how am getting on. I would prob put some pictures up of things I have made. Hasta la vista for now. Going to make some food and get ready to watch Eastenders and Am a celebrity (more of Jordan's funny shape mouth).
