For years I dreamed of having my own business, and, funny thing about dreams, I always thought it would be easy, perfect, that everything that I did would be a wonderful success. Unfortunately, that dream was an impossibility.
That being said, my attempt at selling pet bandannas and "Owner Accessories" at Bradley County Farmer's Market North was utterly fruitless. I figured it would be slow but I quickly learned that few people came to this farmer's market as compared to the older one in the center of town. Considering this I also figured out that the people who came in were mostly older people who did not have any pets. For a while I considered going back the next Saturday and trying again, but to what end? The people coming in were not the target market.
Several ideas went through my mind, but eventually I decided to try the farmers market in the center of town. A family we know comes recently began coming to the market and offered to share a space with us and we accepted. Starting this Thursday, we will be teaming up with this family to sell next to the Five Point Museum in downtown Cleveland, TN. If you would like to drop by and check us out, feel free!
All of that aside, I would like to ask our readers/customers for some suggestions for our business. Do you have an idea on ways to sell or posts for our website. Please, feel free to comment on this post and let us know.
