Post Expo News

Well, it was a fun day, with almost 30 vendors sharing their products and services, networking, and getting to know about each other's businesses. A number of people also had some sales.

While the turnout was less than hoped for, everyone seemed to feel it was a positive first expo and are interested in participating in another event. There was some discussion of things that can be done next time to bring more of the general public in.

Hudson Printing was on hand to talk about their prnting and signage services, and Alex Peak from BuyExpres.com made the rounds with a variety of promotional products and made some sales as well.

Preliminarily we are thinking about another event in late February and will be in touch with the the vendors to see if they are interested. We will also be recruiting other participants and may add more space at the same location (another room is available). We will also talk further about other marketing and publicity to increase attendance.

Thanks again to everyone for a successful first event!
