Hello!!
It has been a few days since my last jewelry post. I am currently prepping for an event to be held early February 2017. I will post the flier and other details in the days to come.
I have done a few showings of my work and as much as I enjoy designing and putting together creations, preparing for an event can feel quite daunting at times.
There is so much emphasis on booth display, right ambiance and other tips which are meant to drive customers in your direction.
For this event, one which I have never done, I am feeling that pressure again. The organizers were clear that a tent would be an asset as the start time is midday. In Barbados, the midday sun can feel like suddenly the equator has descended from on high.
I have given alot of thought to the color scheme I want to use, the redesigning of business cards and logo, displays and props and the pieces I want to display.
I know!! It is so much to consider!
I found a few resources which I would like to share for those who might also struggle with pre-show jitters as I do.
