Rose Bowl May 2015

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mother's.

Today was another vendoring day at the Rose Bowl. It was a nice sunny, breezy day. In short, the weather was beautiful.

Again, I had my 10 x 10 vendor booth stocked with my handcrafted goodies and crafting supplies.

Since it's Mother's Day today, there were a lot of mother and daughter pairs strolling around. There were also a lot more families together.

I also noticed today people weren't buying as they did in previous months. I talked with other vendor's. They expressed the same observations. 

Just a lot of lookie loo's that were laughing, talking and looking around with their hands stuffed in their pockets.

For this May month, I did change my booth design. I brought out a lot more of my handcrafted jewelry and jewelry supplies. I also changed the decorum by adding table cloths and table runners.


The change ended up being a positive one. It resulted with more people stopping inside my booth and looking around, picking up items which allowed for more conversation with potential buyers.

Next month, in June, I'm going to change the booth decorum around again.  I want to find a style that will express my brand.

I'm thinking of dividing up the booth by arranging the crafting supplies on one side of the booth while the handcrafted items will be displayed on the other side.  

I want people to remember my booth when they leave. Maybe even mention how nice and different the Teach Me Clay boot was to friends and/or family.

I will begin performing DIY demo's for making handcrafted jewelry findings and passing those findings out as free samples when people drop by. Each handcrafted finding will be attached to a business card. The card will be designed to drive more traffic to my website. 

There are just so many possibilities but time to incorporate these new ideas is limited. My next Rose Bowl event will be, you guessed it, June 14, the second Sunday of the month, every month.

Drop by my blog next week and see what's added to my collection. Time to add something new and maybe a little sassy.

This Coffee Break has come to an end. Until next time.
