So, at each event I like to keep track of the quotes, questions and statements I get from customers. I also like to track what I learned. Here is my list from the Taste of Minnesota.
"You have a beautiful shop."
"Best store so far"
"What is a snuffleupagus?"
"Is snuffleupagus the MN version of Big Foot?"
"Who does your marketing? This could be the next "Lakes" or "Sota" line!" "It is awsome!"
"Where is your storefront?"
"Such cool and unique designs "
"Your vibe is amazing."
"You should sell outside the Vikings Stadium!" I had my Skol Sister and Let's Get H***y shirts.
Things I learned...
Your neighbors are amazing and very helpful!! One of my neighbors helped me put up my tent, take down my tent and haul my stuff out early .
Sometimes even customers are big helpers! A couple stopped to shop, saw my top was off and helped me put it back on. I let them pick out whatever they wanted.
Even with 40 lb weight on my tent, it can still act like a big kite with the right amount of wind!!
Even though I had to shut down early due to the wind it was a great experience.
