Hi!
Well, kids are officially back in school, the first frost warnings have hit the airways, and the Fall tradeshow season has begun!
I'm not sure you could find a much better way to meet incredible people than traveling and participating in the tradeshow circuit.
You meet the warmest, most fascinating, creative, and entrepreneurial minds. You meet the bakers, the makers, the risk-takers, and small business shakers. You meet the serious shoppers, the booth hoppers, and the sample poppers.
It's an awesome sampling of humanity.
There are thousands of these types of shows that go on all around the world.
If you are one of the many that put in the miles, hours of effort, and painstaking labour necessary to participate, soldier on. There are shows where the profit is not money. The profit, instead, comes in the contacts and friendships made, and the future opportunities cultivated.
If you are someone who is toying with the idea of purchasing a booth, but are unsure for a plethora of reasons, find a small show and dip your toe. If nothing else, it will be an inexpensive way to run a marketing focus group. On the other hand, you may be sitting on the goldmine you dreamed you were! Likely, your experience will fall somewhere in the middle.
If you are a shopper, Thank You!
If you are entertaining the idea of heading out to one of these events, give it a shot. You are bound to find something you never knew you needed.
Where else can you have the experience of buying a piece of jewelry, some clothing, or a book, and actually get to interact with the very person who created it?
So, if you see a flyer, or an event pops up on your FaceBook page about a show that will be taking place in your neck of the woods this Fall, do yourself the favour of putting it on your calendar and checking it out, you won't be sorry!
With that in mind, time for a plug for the Word On The Street Festival! You can check out the details on their FaceBook event page and on the website http://thewordonthestreet.ca/saskatoon
I'll have a booth, and will be there selling and signing books!
***************************************************************
Until next time......
May you find the courage to share your treasures with the masses,
May you take the chance, with time, the uncertainty passes.
May you find the medium that allows your creativity to truly shine.
May you unleash your imagination, let it soar, no rules, no limits, colour outside the lines.
