Ya know, we spent like three weeks getting ready for this show, preperations, printings, ordering stuff, and Saturday came FAST. This is the very first time that I have EVER done anything like this, I have never had to be face to face with my customers before, it was kinda cool.
We were set up in 20 minutes setting up, when others spent portions of the night before and that morning getting their both ready. Shannon did an excellent job of organizing the table, she had prepaired us right down to drinks and junkfood beforehand. At 9 o'clock things TOOK OFF! Most of the day was a blur and we did some of the best business in the room! Many commented of the newspaper article that we had framed to the left of the table, and many stopped to watch while I was drawing in the other corner of the table. My son Chip was also with us, so he got a UPCLOSE view to see that cartoons CAN sell. It was a great day, many of Shannon's family showed up and even some of our friends from church came too.
While I am trying NOT to be a "numbers" guy the end result was this... we managed to sell almost EIGHTY CARDS!!! Not bad for the first show of barely known products.
THANK YOU to ALL who came out to support us at the show!!!!
