    Hi!! I’m planning a vendors event in Nov. It will be my first one. I’ve watched quite a few videos but yours gave me the most info. I love the advice about prepare for a smaller space than what you pay for so the customers aren’t bumping into one another. My question is, do you write a receipt for the items sold or do you just keep track of what you sell by jotting them down quickly? Thanks again!!!

      So glad this was helpful! I actually bought a few sales receipt books from Walmart and they have a carbon copy. So I wrote down what people buy and give one copy to the customer and have the other copy for my inventory records.

    For future information, you can get clear face shields that allow people to read your lips and protect you at the same time. Dollar Tree sells them.

    I love the QR code idea! Do you have any updates on how effective this was/is it worth trying with my business?

    • @KirstenThompson
      @KirstenThompson  3 года назад +2

      So, the wifi sucked at the location where I wanted to use it, which made it nearly impossible for people to pull up the landing page, but people did notice it and they made an effort to use it. So that's a good sign. If I'm in a better location with stronger wifi, I think it could work well!

      So I started on Omnisend but didn’t like it. I just moved to Mailchimp. They have integrations that would allow you to capture emails on a mobile app at events.
