Hit the ground running.

We had an absolutely incredible weekend at our first vendor booth event! I cannot tell you all how overjoyed I am by the results of this show. I'm so excited to share these photos with you all. Friday night and Saturday morning we set up shop at the Winter Festival of a local elementary school. Thanks so much to the PTO and staff for giving us such a great opportunity to share our new business with people. Also thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and said hello! It was great to meet everyone.



We provided samples of the Tomato Horseradish dip and the Salsa and Sour Cream dip, along with apple spice bread and pumpkin spice bread. The next day we also provided Good Tastings bread with grapeseed oil, the new garlic herb seasoning blend and a little black pepper for dipping.



Everyone raved about the samples, so much that we sold quite a bit of products right off the table! Even the husbands and kids declared our food delicious, and some went in search of Mom to come back and sample everything.



In addition to the food we had set up displays of a lot of the other items, including tester bottles of the lotions so people could smell how delicious the products are. The lemon scent won the popularity contest with mango coming in a close second.



We were definitely the new kids on the block at this event, but the reception we received was awesome. The Watkins products generated a lot of interest, and providing the samples really helped spark people's curiosity. Some people had never heard of us and had no idea what we sold, so we took the time to explain our extensive product line.



Others recognized the brand from seeing it at a local store, but didn't know there were so many other products available. And then others knew about the products from past experience but had no idea it was still available as a direct sales line. We heard a lot of "Oh! My grandmother swore by Watkins double strength vanilla for all her baking!" A few people even told us that their grandparents or parents were Watkins associates in the past. Seeing our products was a walk down memory lane for a lot of people. I loved talking to everyone and really enjoyed hearing their stories.

Our raffle for the gift basket was a huge success. Congratulations to our winner! In the basket was most of the makings for Pumpkin Spice bread along with other kitchen accessories. I know she will love it.



We had a lot of people interested in booking a Good Tastings party, so it looks like our schedules are going to be jam packed for a while. We also found out about two more upcoming events from our nice vendor neighbors Rachel and Bobby. One event is at a Christmas Bazaar on December 6th and another Santa Shop on December 13th. We are planning to do both, which will probably mean even more bookings for GT parties.

Let me take a minute to say if anyone would like to sign up to become an associate and help us cover some of these events, please feel free to contact me for more info. This is an incredible ground level opportunity that could really be a huge success for you! I have been so amazed at how easy these products are to sell. They are such great quality and affordable prices that they seem to just sell themselves.

In addition to that, if anyone would like to place an order for more products, Lori will be closing this order sometime before Wednesday, November 26th. Please let us know if you are interested so we can get your order in with the others to save you money on shipping.

Thanks again everyone!
