Well the babyshow was an experience! Incredibly hard work and you can definitely tell that the credit crisis is in full swing both from our own experience and from comments by other exhibitors who have done the shows before.
Physically it was exhausting - 4 very long days, 3 of which were in the public eye so best smiles all day. It has taken a couple of weeks to get back to normal, especially with half term but now we need to focus and move things forward again.
Success on the day was definitely driven through offers. Everyone at the show was looking for bargains which we honed as the 3 days progressed such that the final day was by far the best day. We also had over 2000 entries to our competition which was great as this also helps to build our database.
Will we do the next babyshow at Earls Court? Well the jury is still out on that one. We are going to see how the credit crisis progresses and how things go in general. Earls court will be much harder to do logistically as we were able to rope in family and friends (thank you!!) for the NEC show which won't be possible in London. If we do take part we will probably take a much smaller stand and only take the smaller items with us. Watch this space....
