Great Cakes Soapworks

Here’s a picture of me and my booth at the Haute Market last Thursday night. I was so thankful to have RahRah there to help me get everything set up! We were putting on the finishing touches right up until the doors opened at 5:00pm. And then we waited for the surge of customers that we were assured would come. Interestingly enough, there were quite a few people (mostly women, of course) who came and shopped, but about halfway through the night I ended up pulling my main table and the green cabinet forward to get them to even look.

It was definitely a learning experience. I have to be honest and say my confidence is a bit shaken after having two shows in a row turn out less than I was hoping. I’m not saying it was a total bust. There were some really nice women who bought from me, and every single one of them gave me her email address and joined my Preferred Customer list. One of them had already found my website through the Haute Market website and signed up before the event. Another person already had a Great Cakes Soapworks lip butter that she pulled out of her pocket!

So now I’m focusing my efforts on the Olathe Medical Center’s Holiday Craft Show coming up this Friday. This was a great show last year, so hopefully I will do better there.
