Entry #13
Christmas@City Square
23rd December 2018
For our seasonal sales, we decided to go to city square Christmas bazaar and set up a booth there. It is a heartland mall with a lot of traffic, especially on weekend. This is definitely one of our highlights and we expected more sales due to the festive season, and it is our first try out for the terracotta pots.
For this Christmas bazaar, we brought an additional table for whoever is on shift to paint some pots to attract potential customers as well.
We also brought additional decorations that suits the Christmas theme of our products.
Day 1: The first day sales hit our expectations of the event. During the evening, there were many customers and a huge amount of traffic flow as it is a Friday evening.
Day 2: The sales today wasn't as good as expected, however there were many customers who are interested but we were not able to seal the deal. Compared to the day before, there was not as much evening crowd that we expected.
Day 3: One change we made today was to set up the booth slightly earlier than usual, as the peak period seemed to be in the morning and to catch some breakfast crowd. Today we had the best sales out of the three days and there was one customer who bought 23 terrariums near the end!
Talk about a Christmas Miracle!!!
Overall, this event is a successful one and it hits our expectation of a festive season. Christmas is a season for gifting and we felt so grateful to be able to make such great sales.
