Last Friday, the marketing team took a little outing and ended up at Sheeca's Spring Market! (Follow @sheecas_markets_ on Instagram to find out more). Its always good for us to ditch the laptops for an afternoon and have a look at whats trending in the market, network and meet our current customers!
We loved the Spring Market and managed to spot a couple of our boxes in use at the various stalls. This was a wonderfully diverse market with handcrafted items, jewellery, clothing and fantastic food options (there are fewer things better than a potato samosa). We managed to gain some insight into what our customers are currently using from our range, and where we have gaps in our product offering. We also realised that while we think we've got most of the local market covered, we don't! There are always opportunities to increase our footprint and make new connections; starting with gifting & Christmas markets! It got us brainstorming and re-strategising our approach to small businesses.
So, this is a reminder to close the laptop, step outside, connect with those around you and you might just come up with something new! Watch this space.😉
Thats it from me, let me climb back into my box!
