This weekend was "Nostalgiafest" in a local town~it lasted from 11am -6pm yesterday and 11am-5pm today! I had 2 other consultants that split some of the time with me, but I did all the setting up & breaking down of the booth (with my families help!). I have to say I was pleased with the response we got. The committee that selects vendors had told me that they had never let in a direct sales company before but decided they would put us in because of the comany's reputation. I had a banner out from a bridal show I had done years ago and when most people saw it, they came right over! We were not selling on the spot (I would have had to have purchased a $50 business license) but all 3 of us got quite a few leads! Now, this week I get to spend the time following up on them!
It was good to get out there and really work my business, but I am exhausted! IT was alot of work!
 
glad it was successful for you!
 
Woo-hoo for getting out there Meg! Way to work it! :)
