Yesterday was Swap-bot’s first foray into craft show sponsorship. We were one of the main sponsor of the Handmade Cavalcade, a yearly show organized by The {NewNew} Etsy Street Team. Our sponsorship package included a booth space at the event. Our table was definitely amateurish compared to the amazing artists’ booths, but we had a lot of fun meeting creative people and handing out Swap-bot swag. Sometimes it is hard to describe exactly what Swap-bot is, but I think we definitely attracted a few new members over the course of the day. It felt great to be a part of the local “handmade” community!
(I plan to write a more detailed report about the event on the Swap-bot blog, but for now you can see a bunch of great photos from the event on MetroMix.)
awww you look so cute manning yer booth!
Did you get a lot of interest? Was Ernie the envelope a crowd stopper?
Next year, have Travis dress up in a lifesize Ernie the Envie costume! 😉 Keep on spreading the Swap-bot word, the world needs more good swappers.
How was the turn out overall at the craft fair?
It was great to meet you at the Cavalcade. You were such a perfect addition to the day and I loved all of your displays
You look super cute in that pic! Hope you had fun!
Thanks for all the kind comments! The turn out at the fair was great, over 1500 shoppers. It was a lot of fun and there were some amazing vendors.
LOL! I like Kathleen’s idea!!
