Fairly Depressing…

Well, the first day it rained like a mutha %$)@er!!! I mean like torrential downpours and it really kept the fair attendance down.  Good news is that I got 2 model applications in directly from the fair last night.  As much as I planned on being at the booth all day I did leave my daughter and one of our models there to work it for the last 1/2 of the day.  I had a lot of crap to get done at the studio so I took advantage of the slow time to work my butt off over here.  I’m getting ready for day 2 right now.  No rain today, but since it’s Monday it will be slow up until about 5:00pm.    We are the only photographer there this year.  One year there were 4 photographers with booths at the fair.  I guess we have run them all off!     I can’t blame them really LOL  

It’s nice to talk to our clients in person and see old clients.  I was on top of my name game yesterday remembering their names when they walked up.  Several of them were really startled that I remembered their names and their kids names.  I can’t remember what Kelly told me to do 5 min ago, but I can remember a clients name from 5 years ago???  I’m not sure if it’s a gift or a curse!!!   Any yesterday we collected almost 100 names data for potential clients.  We are having a drawing for a $500 studio gift card.  We are not the aggressive type of fair booth we don’t bother people when they are walking by obviously trying to avoid us because they are not interested in us…. Unlike the cookware guy in the booth next to us that tries to talk to everyone, even the ones ignoring him, as he tries to talk louder still sputtering out shit to people running from his annoying pots and pans sales pitch crap…..  Oh God I want to kill him!!!!   I hate vendors like that!!  Seriously he’s bringing down my game!!  People run by our booth just to not have to deal with him!!    Anyway I have a bunch of stuff to do before I head out to the fair today…. See Ya
