Yesterday I took off my gallery owner/consignment shop manager/occasional artist hat and put on my supportive spouse hat. I tied on an apron and went to be the "Booth Babe" or in my case the "Stifel who can stick to the point and not tell just tell stories" with Bob at the 2014 Virgnia Food and Beverage Expo.
We were pretty happy with our booth set-up. And with the smell of Bob's famous Pork BBQ and Apple Pie filling the air (happily we were next to people who were not cooking!), we were very popular in the "smellavison" category as well! .
Folks were really intrigued by all of the applications Bob's Best has. Everything from meat to veggies to dips to dessert was covered and covered well.
The Easy as Pie mix was a big winner because no one had seen a product like it before! What was surprising to us was the fact that we wasn't just retailers that were interested in it but caterers and institutions too. Easy -as-Pie coming to a school near you? We even had a query from a gentleman that wanted to know how fast we could drop ship him 500 pies. When I explained that we were only selling the pie MIX ans not the pie, he was visibly disappointed.
Maybe something to look into... Time to go write my follow-up letters.
