Following Up From The Tradeshow

I am back in Cleveland after going to Columbus for a wholesale gift show. I have to say that I am quite disappointed at the results from this particular show.

I met some great people and my whole family went so we had a bit of a vacation right before school started. One of my daughters actually started today.

But I was disappointed in the attendance in general at the show and the attendence in my particular showroom. I do have to say, however, that my neighboring vendors in my showroom were great. I want to thank Shannon Mullins from Pinnacle Marketing especially for putting up with my family at the show. She was just the absolute nicest person. My girls befriended her and she just drew them right in. If you are a retailer looking for licensed sports items, Pinnacle is a great place to go. Her email is customsales@ureach.com.

The reaction I got to my new wholesale jewelry line was really good. People loved it. But most of the people there did not buy jewelry. So I guess that is not the show for me. Here is the link to take a look. www.lakeerieartists.com/paulaatwellshop.htm

Next on my list of things to do is to find new clients in Cleveland, and my next show which will be the Oktoberfest in Berea. Anyone who says they mentions this blog will get 15% off any one item at the Oktoberfest show.

I do want to pass on some coupons that I have available. If you use any of these coupons or others posted on my blog and website, Lake Erie Artists Gallery www.lakeerieartists.com will get a small percentage of the sale. So back to work here. Tata for now!
