I have a question for Katie of Kelp Designs. I'm thinking of doing my first tradeshow at 36 weeks pregnant. I'd have to fly from Portland to LA. I heard you had a similar experience with NSS. Any thoughts? Would you do it again?piddixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243246478847429971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176356443505471794.post-39493095095422736852011-10-06T13:02:47.771-07:002011-10-06T13:02:47.771-07:00Cannot wait to hear what both of you have to say! ...Cannot wait to hear what both of you have to say! I am curious as to what your advice is on how to best follow-up after the show with retailers that were interested in buying but didn't. Are email blasts a dime a dozen? A written note? A great mailer? <br />Thanks!<br />--hbhbdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469575392115301456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176356443505471794.post-49800543571843436262011-10-06T07:27:16.267-07:002011-10-06T07:27:16.267-07:00Glad to hear you are participating in Tradeshow Bo...Glad to hear you are participating in Tradeshow Bootcamp. I'll be a first-timer in May at NSS. My question: I've read some places that retailers and reps are more hesitant to order from and work with new companies/companies showing for the first time. How can someone like myself re-assure retailers and reps that my business is strong and that I will deliver?Happy Cactus Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151893397289600686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176356443505471794.post-41502749156133901502011-10-05T12:17:04.450-07:002011-10-05T12:17:04.450-07:00Very exciting.

I'm guessing you'd need items for display/examples as well as samples for potential customers. But since everyone would be ordering items to be shipped to them, do you really need a ton of multiple products on-hand?<br />Thanks!<br />-Corinnapiddixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243246478847429971noreply@blogger.com
