Entry #9
Whitesands
17th November 2018
THE LONG AWAITED EVENT HAS ARRIVEDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ram met up with Shiju and they transported the terrariums from Cleo's house to whitesands, where I met them directly. We used the cardboard box from Pick A Plant to transport the terrariums, and it felt like it was going to break apart anytime. While making our way to the booth, we saw a few competitors who sold terrariums and individual plants. However, our competitor were selling closed terrariums, which is already fogging up due to moisture. We felt that both our designs and price were better.
The set-up was the most difficult part. We really wanted to display at least two of our themes and the random designs we did, however we were limited by the space. We also made use of 2 cardboard boxes to transport from the vehicle to our booth. It was difficult to setup the booth as none of us had any idea to make it real nice, as a result we kept redoing it.
Among the rest of the booths, we had the best sales. However, a few customers approached us and ask about workshops. This shows that people are actually interested in such handmade products but they want to do it themselves.
And cardboard boxes are definitely not cutting it for transport.
I definitely look forward to the next event.
