WELLS WEEK 2005 AND BAKEWELL SHOW
Following the first successful opening of the Front door and conversion of the front room into an exhibition and sales room during Youlgrave’s Wells Week ‘04, a second successful wells week with an increased turnover in products was a welcome boost and gave confidence to apply to exhibit outside the home. My first venture to Bakewell Show at the beginning of August prompted a marketing crisis as 1 No 6' x 2'6" table meant choosing what to take for the first time - a very subjective guess as to what other people may like in an unknown venue. Laying out the products to best show them and not look cluttered also led to a couple of frames to clamp to the table being fabricated and not being able to escape to the workshop to replenish stocks seemed a daunting prospect. In the end everything went but my sales patter really needs more practice and refining as I never thought to get out other pieces when interest was shown in something similar.
If you are in Youlgrave, please come through the 5 bar gate and try the house or workshop. If we are in we are open. For further enquiries tel. 01629 636151
