Vendor Event Success!

This week I hosted my first vendor event at the local school bus garage.  The Utica Community Schools bus garage has over 240 employees that drive students to and from schools daily.  During the day, these drivers arrive and leave from 5:30am to 5:00pm.  The busiest time for the bus garage is from 8:00am to 1:30pm when most drivers are arriving back from morning runs, going home, and returning for afternoon runs.  This was the time that I made myself available to provide Younique product samples, demonstrations, and sales.

I set my vendor table up in the cafeteria where all the drivers go to clock in and out to work.  I was nervous at first, but once people began to peruse the cosmetics that I was offering I hit my stride.  Quite a few drivers were very interested in the Younique product line, some had never heard of it, and others had friends that use it and knew about its many benefits.  Many drivers sampled the cosmetics and showed interest in purchasing products.

Overall the event went well.  I was able to show the Younique product line to over 200 perspective clients, drummed up interest, and even made a few sales.  I knew going into this event I didn’t have many items on hand to sell, but I was more interested in establishing the brand with this group first. I have set-up a second date in early December to revisit this group and I will have a nice selection of cosmetics ready for customers to purchase on-site.  I am looking forward to my hard work paying off!
