Today we had the pleasure of being a vendor at Parent Academy that was held at Rockdale Career Academy located in Conyers, Georgia. We’ve participated in the past years, but this was the 1st in person event they have held since 2020.
We were a vendor and we did a pop up shop for our Novelties and Gift online store That Extra Piece. It is time to clear the way from our old inventory and work on what’s next for our gift shop.
It’s been awhile since we’ve done any vendor events and today was one of those days to remind you that You cannot be everything to everybody.
During our in person sales and all the conversations being help with those persons that approach the table. We had all the stuff out on the table that we are wanting to sell. As clients ask for various sizes, colors, shapes etc. for the different items we had displayed.
In the past, I use to try my best to have everything for everybody. Your wish was my command. I wanted the sale so bad I was willing to get them whatever it takes. Yes, I can have that color, Yes I will get that size, Yes I would do this Yes I would do that.
As I’ve matured in this commerce world I was reminded today that you cannot be everything to everybody. What is available is for those individuals that is interested in the items that you have here for sell. There is no need to go to far out the way to please each and everyone that shows a bit of interest in your products and services. If you are able to meet the demand of request by all means do so, but if not. Do what you are able to do and worry less about being everything to everyone.
That was my reminder lesson of the day.
Great remembrance of my journey
