It's been some time since I posted,sooo here a few words to update what the Worcester Pen Company has been up too.We had a good week-end at Coventry Transport Museum with a very busy Saturday, even though the weather was awful.
Sunday was a little more slow but we sold more fountain pens on the Sunday compared to Saturday. A lot of folks were looking at the pens and taking business cards which I hope will lead to follow on orders.
Craft fairs always amaze me as I wasn't expecting too much from the pen buying public in Coventry, but fair play to the good people of Coventry,it seems they are very keen pen users.The fair was very well organised and we'll return to this show, as we had two good days and it's not too far for the Worcester Pen Company "road show" to travel.
Saturday 21st November saw us at the Hanger One craft show at Sywell aerodrome.We were invited to attend this show by the organisers and I'm glad we went. We had our best show of the year in terms of trading (apart from specialist pen shows).The show was all hand-made items and just the right balance of stalls for the customers.The organisation of the fair was very good. It was two very busy days for the Worcester Pen Company,and we nearly ran out of stock on the Sunday.I have been busy for the past few days making more pens to replenish what has been sold....
I've posted a picture of the stand before the show opened on the Saturday morning.See if you can spot my cup of coffee!!!!
On a parting note, I had a fruitful meeting with another retailer who may be stocking pens made by the Worcester Pen Company.I will keep you informed with this news, so stay tuned.
