The Big Cocke Clan just got back from the Surf Expo in Orlando. We did not actually set up and exhibit as a vendor this time, but we did have a chance to walk the floor and get more ideas as to what and how we want to display our products in January. Basically, the show puts store buyers/owners together with companies that want their products sold in these stores. All the buyers owned stores, surf shops, beach shops, or t-shirt related businesses.
We mingled and met with tons of folks like ourselves as well as buyers for these stores! It was great to spend time face to face with folks that can sell our products to vacationers, surfers, and beach goers in general! They have the experience and know how, and we found that our product is of interest to them! We were able to find out some pricing info from the buyers as well as the other sellers and sorta pick their brains about the whole process. We updated facebook with lots of pictures and some tales of our trip.
Overall, it was good to be surrounded by people knowledgeable about our industry. The feedback we received was enough to let us know we were on the right track. It's up to us to continue developing our products and systems so that we will be prepared for our chance to display/exhibit when the time is right! We look forward to the challenge and will continue working hard to getting our stuff in front of as many customers/buyers as possible! Learn more at http://www.bigcocke.net/
