Here's a couple of photo's of my stand at the Bride of the year show in the RDS last weekend.
For those of you who didn't know, a big part of my business is creating
stationery and providing
caricatures at weddings as form of entertainment.
This was my most elaborate and biggest stand by far, up to this I had a small space with a table that the cards were placed on, this was a much larger corner stall ,and as you can see I had proper display units and new pop up banners etc, however the piece that received the most attention was definitely my
wedding guest board, I got the flower spray made during the week, and added a frame for the wow factor, and boy did it pay off! I also ran a competition over the weekend were-by everyone who signed their email address on it was entered into a competition to win their very own one free, so a huge congrats Elaine Hoffman in Navan who was the lucky winner.
I have to say I was worried that with the recession etc that the crowds wouldn't turn up and even worse they wouldn't book, but fortunately this was not case, my stationery is almost booked up for year and bookings for wedding caricatures are up on last year, although I found it very frustrating that 5 out of 10 couples are getting married on July the 18th which has been booked for me since last year!
