So last fall I was approached by a radio station about 20 miles south of here asking if I would be interested in hosting a bridal expo in Jan. I jumped at the chance. This Sunday I have 28 vendors setting up in my banquet hall and at this point 142 brides registered. I figure they will all come with a posse, so I potentially have 500+ looking at my facility! Not to mention that they have advertised this on their 3 radio stations, I swear, every 10 minutes! I couldn't possibly have afforded advertising like that!
I am getting nervous! I am going to offer a few of my easy to assemble apps, have commandeered a corner by the kitchen and am setting up a round with my beautiful new floor length linens and chair covers. I played nice, I didn't ban any competition since I firmly believe I can run with the big dogs, so I will have several other venues exhibiting. I put together a small handout highlighting what sets me apart from the competition, and a loop to run on the computer with some of the shots from previous weddings.
But I will be glad when it is Sunday at 5 p.m. Did I mention I also took on a baby shower to take place at the same time in the dining room? Such a glutton for punishment, but I am so determined to make this place work!
So send me good thoughts, this is just such a major jumping off place for me!
