Have you ever put your heart into something and it fails so hard and it hurts? Well my Saturday was so disappointing I couldn't even believe it myself. When we came from India, I got an email from a friend saying there would be a kids events in December. Naturally I got excited because for us its an opportunity to display our furniture and also interact with parents and let them know about SAS Impressions www.sasimpressions.com. So we got into lengthy discussions with the event organisers and had a deal. The same Saturday there was also another event targeting mums at a diffrent venue. I talked to the organisers and luckily they allowed me to distribute our fliers for free. Thank God for relatives because I had marshalled my sister Purity and cousin Monica to help us.
Anyways Saturday morning came and we were at the first event by 8.30a.m only to find that it had rained heavily the previous night and the grounds were soaking wet, the tents were in place but the organisers wanted them to be rearranged. So we went to buy some floor mats and when we came back were able to set up. My beloved called me severally during the day and said there were no people except the exhibitors. It was so disappointing.
When we got to the other venue, the story was the same, there were no people. The irony was that the roads had so much traffic but where was everybody on that day I wonder? I encouraged myself that we are learning and have to rethink whenever we get events like this in the future. Why I felt bad was that it was a Saturday and I had hardly spent time with baby gal as we were out of the house by 7a.m and we got home after 7p.m..
That is called the world of business.
