Well it has been such a long time since I have made an entry on here...I am ashamed that it has been just over 7 months!!! and my only excuse is that I just don't seem to find quality time to sit and write but that appears to be a consequence of running my own business alongside being a full time mum. From today I will discipline myself and make the time just wait and see.....
The last 7 months have been a huge learning curve, extremely mad , loads of fun and soooo exciting. At the beginning of March I attended a wedding fair in Salisbury which was my first show in the face of the public with my whole range of products. It wasn't necessary the best day for sales volume but it was a fantastic opportunity for exposure in Salisbury alongside confirmation that the wedding market is where I want and need to be involved in. It also gave me the perfect opportunity to look at the mechanics of my display. As you can see from the photo below, on first impressions my products appear to be adequately displayed however, I wasn't happy with how it looked...it just wasn't right and you will see in blog entries over the next few weeks that I have made some changes for the better.
Two of my closest friends popped into see me and placed a huge order for weddings gifts to present on their special day, I felt so privileged to be asked to do...thank you guys.
On reflection, I have actually received quite a bit of business across Hampshire and Wiltshire through attending the show so it proved to be a fantastic marketing opportunity.
