Trade Show #2, Day 3 - Going on National TV

Another solid day at the show! I'm really pleased with how it is going. Could it be better? Yes. But is it going well? Absolutely.

We have sales and orders to ship. We have gained multiple companies that want to stay in the loop on our progress and may eventually become retailers for us. Additionally, we have gained many contacts that I think will help us down the road.

Today, the Big Boy came to the show and got to see what was going on. I warned him ahead of time that there was nothing there we were allowed to buy. Only things to look at. While he was clearly excited by what he saw, and all the vendors love engaging a child with their wares, he was a really good boy and handled it all very well. And he already told me what he thinks our next product line should be.

Today offered a few surprises. I had one woman 15 minutes before the close of the day walk up and ask what our show special was. Three seconds later her husband caught up. She turned to him and said, order the show special and then meet me at booth #XX and walked out. It was great to have a customer return so determined.

On to national TV. It is confirmed. I will be appearing with Norman on the CBS's The Early Show on Saturday August 29th. This is so cool! They are doing a segment called, "Mother's of Invention" highlighting three Mompreneurs. Should be fun!
