On the Road....

www.golfcradle.com

On the Road with 14 shows in 14 different Cities. What a great experience and if the company could afford it, we would be doing it every season. The reason I write this is because every show that I attended from sign up to the full weekend cost the company approximately $4000.00.

These small regional shows were a great way to introduce the Golf Cradle and really experience the event of a sale. It was a "rush" for me. We had a booth developed and a portable credit card machine. The set-up was there. However, what became difficult was the traveling and the complications that go along with that. The weather, flat tires, accommodations, salesman misusing the credit cards, and making sure we were appropriately staffed at each show. The typical stuff that accompanies the issues companies face while being on the road. Our trailer was brand new and was logo-ed. Traveling and watching peoples reactions to our trailer and product was the most exciting part from me.

I am planning to go on the circuit again, once I am able to secure the funds to do so. I am looking to obtain some business grants to help defer the expense. I have some great ideas for new advertising and I am eager to get on the road again...
