Well we survived the Gift Fair and all the greeting cards stayed up! The plastic strips we used to display them requires a little 'tweaking' to stop the cards falling 'forward' - but all in all we were very pleased with the effect and received some positive comments about our display. A few exhibitors mentioned they would like to copy the idea so it must have looked OK!
It is funny to watch people walk past - they either totally 'get the concept' or totally 'don't' or casually glance and are about to walk on by when they have the 'light bulb' moment !!! Had to laugh at one lady - she said she was given a 'LOVE' block for her birthday about 3 months ago by her brother (wasn't he lovely....) but it was only recently that she realised it actually 'spelt' a word!! But that is what I love about the letters - they aren't immediately obvious to everyone - which is actually quite endearing....
Loads of people said they had seen our products in other shops and had purchased for their own use - which is a HUGE compliment - and then they hunt out our stand to make a purchase for THEIR retail store.
Took us no time at all to dismantle our stand - and gave us time to stop off for a well earned piece of chocolate cake and debrief...
One of the highlights for me was meeting Celia from 'Cecily' Greeting Cards - I am a HUGE fan of Cecily Cards and a keen supporter of NZ artists.
photos coming soon xx
