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.)

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.

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.
