Strawberry Festival was definitely one of those not so easy learning times for me.
I shared a booth with Marj Watkins, an 87 year old writer and self publisher, whose cooking column in the local paper has created a bit of a following for her. That's Marj, in red, and a friend Nanette Palowski (also an artist) in blue.
Guess who sold the most?
We both have a bit of a following. We both have attractive products. One of us is obviously more outgoing--and dressed to show up against a green background.
You guessed it. Marj sold 50% more than I did.
We both had a great time, visiting with friends, talking about our wares, and just being a part of the "scene".

Well, that's marketing!
