This was a very exciting weekend for Kennedi’s Closet! We participated in our very first trade show, and it was a huge success! The show was called “A Posh Party” and was held at Friday Musicale in Jacksonville, Florida.
We arrived for set-up at 8 a.m. with the show set to start at 10. It was nerve racking to set up the booth for the very first time, but once we figured it all out, the tables looked great! It was a sea of color from the hair bows and flowers to the pink table skirt to our beautiful photographs by Lisbeth Photography.
There was a steady stream of customers throughout the day, and we loved the face-to-face interaction with everyone! This was very exciting since normally most of our interaction with customers is through e-mails. It was so cool to see some of our previous customers come by our booth with their little princess dressed in a Kennedi’s Closet monogrammed outfit. We also met lots of moms and many beautiful princesses of all ages. We also had a very special guest stop by our booth: Kennedi herself! She was looked fabulous in her lime green and pink smocked outfit!
Our best selling product of the day was the large and small flower hair clips. Girls from adult to teen to baby were trying to get in on the fashion statement! We even had a customer buy several to coat on her jacket lapel! Flowers are in for Spring 2010!
Kennedi’s Closet also had several models wear our products in the Posh Party fashion show. They showed the tutus off with style and a little unpredictable comedy as well, as you can imagine.
The preparation was full of long hours and late nights, but it was well worth it for a great day and a wonderful experience. These types of shows are definitely something we would like to do more of in the future so keep your eyes open for more dates and locations!
