The Experience After Supanova (long time coming post)
Sorry for the Delayed post, we have been a tad busy.
Once the dust settled from Supanova, we gained some tips on how we can improve. Sure we still have left over stock that we are trying to sell off, and with this we can expect to bring more fun tees to our next event.
And that we did, the next event we went to was Nerdmania. I was at my other job, which is my full time position where I received a message from the organisers of the Nerdmania event. They had invited me to the weekend to sell my tees, my uniquely designed tees that they wanted to add to their exhibitor list. I was intrigued, and it was cheaper to set up as well.
So we travelled to Shepparton, rented out a room for 2 nights and set up our stall. At first we had squeeze at our competitors, after an hour we learnt that we had to adapt to the environment and the customers. So we lowered our prices and all of a sudden we sold out. Which tees do you think was a hit? Well it was nothing we had at Supanova, in-fact I got the tip from another organiser, but he was from Melbourne Comic Con. We really liked our Mario Deadpool tees. So i printed out a few and took them to Nerdmania, we sold out of them within a few hours.
After that event subsided, I really wanted to sell more in person. Unfortunately I missed out on the Bendigo Con and the Ballarat show.
Perhaps next time.
We are hoping to be at the GO Market in February-March.
Otherwise our next major event will be Supanova but we will be prepared, we will upgrade our plans and we are planning to have our stall in the exhibitors hall.
What are we doing in the mean time?
Well we launched our biggest sale, which was Black Friday, where we had 20% off and our email subscribers received 25% off. Besides our Boxing Days sale, we are hoping to have a few combo promotions.
In other news well, we will leave that for the future!
