OUGD602: Girl Gang Leeds - Christmas Craft Fair

The craft fair was not as busy as I expected but I think this is due to it being on a sunday and people were probably out from the night before. However, from the sales made and people that did come in I found this a good learning experience. It was good to hear people's in person feedback because with an online store unless someone emails or writes a review on depop or a blog/vlog then you can't really hear if they fully enjoy the product whereas in person you see the persons face light up or laugh at a funny illustration. The favourite has always been the cacti print. A lot of people laughed and picked it up and said "I love this" or "that's really nice." It's helpful to know that this is still the most popular print and a style I want to reintroduce into the brand with new products. I would definitely do a craft fair again because this was an educational experience. I found it interesting seeing what everyone else had to offer but personally I think it's something you would need someone to help you with even if it's just to sit with you so you don't get bored if it isn't as busy at times etc and it's just good to share the experience with someone else.
