Hi there,
About a month ago I had the pleasure of participating as a vendor at an
outside art event in Miami, Florida. As you all know I am a certified event
planning professional and have recently launched an online consignment
boutique. I wanted to take some time out and write a brief review of my
experience as a first time vendor at this event.
Here are a few things in which I love or didn’t love about the event. Yes,
you know I must give my honest opinion about my experiences rather good or
bad... so here we go.
Pro's
Con's
Enjoyed the fresh
air Being exposed to Miami's humidity
Nice turnout
Age demographic was older than anticipated
$25 vendor
fee
Passed put over 100 flyers and business cards
The event was actually nice however we quickly
learned the location of the event was nestled in the middle of a retirement
beach community. The products we were showcasing are mainly for 20-35 year
females. I enjoyed the event however and promoted the products via business
cards and flyers.
Lesson
learned: Although I asked the event organizer regarding the age
demographics of the target guest, I should have went a step further and find
out more about the area's demographics as well.
