Back from the trade show and completely swamped
September 18th, 2007
I’m back from the show and still going. There were so many things about the show that were great and there were so many things that were disappointing. Getting back in the middle of the week and keeping the momentum until the weekend was nuts. My daughter just started kindergarten, so that’s been a whole new schedule to get used to - flexibility is the motto of the business owner isn’t it?And I just LOVED missing most of her first week for business.
I had the wonderful experience of meeting a few of you at the show and over the next couple of weeks I’d like to take time to highlight your companies. I know that a few of you had really great experiences with press, exposure, and new clients.
I just want to say that all of us who exhibited (or attended, bless your hearts and feet) should be extremely proud of ourselves for growing our companies to the point where we’re exhibiting at shows, gaining press, meeting industry newbies and veterans, and really doing it. Congrats to all of you, you had wonderful booths and great product lines. We should appreciate all of these milestones on our way up…
I’ll be back with more useful info in the next few days. Happily, I’m still busy getting new accounts set up and running.

Can’t wait to hear the details, another woman I know is going to give some points on my blog - I am anxious to hear about the good and the bad. Congrats on doing it - it IS quite an accomplishment and huge undertaking. Hope you got pictures of the booth!
Take care,
Jamie

Jamie - make sure you update us when your friend has shared her experiences on your blog. I’m definitely finding that with a little time and distance, I’m getting a better perspective on the event, but it would be so great to hear other’s experiences.

It was so wonderful to meet you! You are an inspiration for all of us newbies! If the concept of “you get back more than what you give” is true, you should be showered with everything great!
Thank you for your generous spirit and words of encouragement!

Hi Yuki!
It was so great to meet you too. I wish we could have chatted longer. I could only leave my booth for ridiculous little spurts since I was by myself, but it was great to stop by and see your stuff. Beautiful!!
Congrats on the good press too. I hope that things are starting to take off for you. Did you have a good show?
