On the weekend we had the pleasure of being offered a stall to show our wares at the Greenfest event in Brisbane.
A 3 day event designed to showcase what Australia has to offer in terms of green energy and sustainable products.
It isn't a hard sell for us to be told that you get free Music, Great Organic Food (Justin North Organic Waygu burgers anyone!?) and some very interesting Brisbane folk to observe!
I have to be honest though and say that Brisbane kind of let me down. I would consider Brisbane 'Home' although I live on the Gold Coast I have also spent a lot of my years living in Brisbane.
It wasn't that the interest in Cushie Tushies was lacking because it certainly wasn't.
We always get such a great response from Pregnant Mums, expecting Dads and the very educated Grandparents in the ways of Cloth nappying.
It was more the Mums with Babies in their Prams that would take one look at our stand and make a b-line in the other direction. I am all about people having a choice when it comes to these types of parenting options but to be at a Greenfest Festival that was all about saving the earth "Be the change you want to see!" it was really strage for us to sit and watch such strange human behaviour.
All in all though we had a great time and I am looking forward to being back in Brisbane next weekend for the Parents, Babies and Childrens Expo.
See ya there!
Don't dispare - we were there too, and it totally sucked! Barely a nibble on Friday as it was so dead all day, and we certainy didn't come anywhere near covering our costs for the weekend overall.
ReplyDeleteWe regularly do markets and expos and always have a great reaction. I think it was an all over thing and I didn't come across one exhibitor who was happy with the way the weekend went. It was poorly organised and expensive, and generally not really beneficial to many of us at all. We definitely won't be returning next year... :)
