Last weekend I had a stand at the Paperific Expo. For those of you who have never heard of Paperific – well apart from the fact that you can’t be scrapbookers – it is a paper crafts expo where you can see, and buy, many of the latest products all in the one place.
Technically, my stand – photography – didn’t fit with the main theme of the expo because I didn’t sell anything but as I was offering a photography package as the door prize, it was a way for people to see what they were getting. Of course, there’s also the point that many of the people I take photos for use them to do layouts with so there is a relationship I guess.
I tried to avoid hanging around my stand so that people could look around freely and not feel as if someone was watching them but guess what…I was…from afar LOL. No, really, I wasn’t stalking anyone, just keeping an eye out in case anyone looked like they wanted a hand. There were heaps of cards and vouchers for people to take if they wanted to get in touch with me later.
When I did venture near, or someone found me in their wanderings (I did have my ID tag on), the feedback they offered was heartwarming. All the hard work you put into something like this is well worth the wonderful compliments that you receive. The memory boxes and canvas were a huge hit!
Here are a couple of pics.
